2025 1EQUINE AUSTRALASIAN YOUNG DRIVERS CHAMPIONSHIP HEAT 10 (BAND 5) 1660m Track: GOOD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
ROCKET CITY (10) made it three wins from four starts at this circuit and distance since joining Donny Smith for this campaign when he crossed to the lead before scoring by 1.8m last time. Cops a back row draw but is going well enough to overcome that. SKYLORD (2) has come from wider barriers at his last couple and hasn't been too far off the placegetters. Led and fought on for second in Sydney four back so can be prominent from the low draw. JORDY (1) is close to a win off back-to-back seconds here. On a quick back-up from Tuesday and gets his chance from the ace draw. BETTERTHAN POPSY (6) has been racing consistently and is worth including after placing from a similar barrier last week while KUZMA (8) draws for a trail and can be competitive.
