Flair Amateur Riders (Bm65) 1600m

Track: HEAVY11   Clear   Rail: Out 10m | 8mm rain last 24 hours.  

Tweedledee can cross over and lead. An amateur rider only race to end the day to keep bettors on their toes. The pace will be on in waves and pressure always comes in these sorts of races as sudden attacks deep and racing in lanes is commonplace. WAGNER should bolt in on course form as yet to miss paying a dividend here. This is the easiest field he has met in last two outings. RED JOHN won here two starts ago in a similar type of race and an extra 1.5kg is not going to stop him. NOT ALLOWED is an on pacer and looks the sly visitor. Sweet Treat won this type of race here two runs ago. Up 3.5kg but can cope. Aongatete Express will find this inferior to his last two outings. Course proven. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Tweedledee.
