Ararat   26 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

bet365 Odds Drift Protector Handicap 1106m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m 1300m - 350m. True Remainder. (Pent: 5.08).  

Genuine tempo with Sutadamu pressing forward. FRANCINE (4) is a seven-time winner and only needs to find her best form to give this a shake at value. Likes to press forward and has the 1.5kg claim for apprentice Tayla Childs and a decent draw. SUTADAMU (1) failed last start at Ballarat but prior to that was a convincing all the way winner at Avoca. Blinkers go on here and he can be in this for a long way. MUTSUHITO (3) has won two of his past three, including last start when he cut the corner and came from last to score at Echuca over 1200m. Expect him to be hitting the line strongly. THREE GRAND (9) has placed twice first-up from a spell and can turn in a bold fresh run from the inside gate. RUNPUKYA (2) has blinkers on first-up and has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Francine each-way.

Useful type. At the latest run didn't do much in the run home; second last of 8 at Ballarat Bm58 on April 16 over 1200m, 8 len behind Nuts 'N' Bolts carrying 59.5kg at $5.50.

Needs to bounce back from last start but can turn in a bold showing here.
