GOING: S(6)

SANGSTER - VRC DERBY WINNER 2400m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Hammer Time. GLORAFILIA (4) has been racing very well of late on all types of footing too. Ready to try the 2400m in this for the first time. Win chance here. POETIC JUSTICE (7) is still a Maiden but racing very well. He can handle it dry and wet importantly. Top tier must. APACHE ANNE (8) was a good run at her last start. Ace draw in this can matter too. Chance here in this for all of your multiples. VISTOWN (6) has been racing well for a while now. Trifecta and first four chance in this line up. PROCELLA (5) is a class dropper in this. Has been course proven. Winning rider atop today too. Wide draw but she can cope in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Glorafilia and Apache Anne are win wagers.
