|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pace from Polylithic, In A Step and Sharkim matching motors ahead of Procrastinator. OCTOBER REVOLUTION (4) good fresh gelding with excellent figures this track and trip. Carried the 63kg with ease when he ploughed through the heavy (8) conditions to score over this track and trip on March 26. This much stronger but expected to go close again. BARE TO WITNESS (10) lightly raced gelding resuming. Failed to come up in two runs last prep, including a poor 10th over 1300m at Randwick on December 30. Fitted with a recent trial and expected to sprint well fresh. POLYLITHIC (2) almost seven weeks between runs when sat on the speed for a plugging fifth at Muswellbrook on April 21. Fitter now and the claim helps again. COURAGEOUS QUEEN (11) has been a model of consistency this time in and due for a change of luck. Pipped on the line when second over 10007m here on April 28. Sure to be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: October Revolution to win.
