CHRISTMAS RACEDAYS AT HRC CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 2100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 32)   Rail: +3m 1100m-450m; True Remainder.  

Le Souci is the likely leader and should be able to get there comfortably. HIAWATHA (1) lightly raced stayer who finds his race today third-up. Gets the blinkers on for the first time after chipping away late when fifth over 2400m at Rosehill in BM78 grade on November 9. No excuses here. IMPUNITY (2) Dundeel gelding due for a change of luck. Attacked the line late when a solid third over 2418m at Eagle Farm last time out. Back in trip and looks the main danger. KAHRABA (4) shed her maiden status at start 12 when a fast finishing winner over 1800m at this track on November 12. Will get the extra trip and sure to be thereabouts again. LE SOUCI (5) stable having a great run at present and she's on the quick back-up after holding on well to secure second over 2200m at Scone on November 19. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hiawatha to win.
