Crossroads No. 1 Pub Tab Mdn 1600m Track: SLOW9 Rain Late Rail: Out 12m. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
El Fortuna and Oracle Of Omaha will race handy. TRAIL BLAZER missed a nose FU and overcame trouble. She was last seen in Stakes grade and can feature strongly up to the mile off an inside gate. RAISON D'ETRE was slow away placing FU and looks well-placed. She can sit handier from this gate. CAPITAL was plain the latest but missed a lip prior and has to be considered following the freshen.
The rail is out a massive 12m here so be very wary indeed as on tricky wet ground the bias here that is often rampant could become even more determinant. The visiting stablemates RAISON D'ETRE and EL FORTUNA all the way down from Ruakaka can form the quinella. The former is ready to win and gets her best draw yet today. The latter at his only run here ran fourth. He is bred to swim. The on pacer CAPITAL will be in this from the outset and is a trifecta and first four must. Trail Blazer the next best for your multiples. Oracle Of Omaha should be stronger for a spell as should Belle Testa so they warrant inclusion. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Trail Blazer.
