Belmont   29 Jun 2024
 
GOING: S(6)

AMELIA PARK PLATE 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 6.4).  

Expecting Supido Express to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. The 2YO's kick off proceedings. ELITE MISSILE (1) was far too good over 1400m here a fortnight ago and drops back in trip for today's assignment. The wide draw is no issue as he tends to get back anyway, and Parnham should be able to blend into the race when he needs to. Just has to run up to his latest effort to be winning again. ZIPPY ZANY (5) jumped favourite at this track and trip 10 days ago where she was edged out narrowly. She drops in weight today as this is a stronger race, but she maps for a beautiful run and a win is right on her doorstep. ROCKIN' ROBIN (3) stuck on well in soft conditions at Bunbury on debut. CJP hops in the saddle this time from an inside alley, and he should be both fitter and more experienced for that run. Can make his presence felt. SUPIDO EXPRESS (2) just beat Zippy Zany last start and has to be included despite meeting her worse at the weights. SPANGLEDSTAR (9) caught the eye first-up and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Elite Missile in the first.

Second run back. First-up after four months won by 2.25 len at this track 2yo Swp June 15 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Exceed The Planet with 56kg at $4.
