2025 TROT RODS - HEAT 5 - TIME TO BEAT 65.9 947m

Track: GOOD      

CELESTINE (1) has been racing well of late. Finished second at her latest appearance over 1780m at this track, beaten a head. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. SWEET LAD JUJON (2) had been about the mark in recent runs before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by 10 metres over 2040m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw with early tactics crucial. Won't find this any harder and he can salute once again. REDS STAR DEAL (4) must be considered after he finished third over 1780m at this track two weeks ago. GOODTIME CRACKER (5) is next in line.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Bettys Gold Class at this track over 1780m in a NR 44 to 48 on April 23 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Tobefairtoyou at this track over 1780m in a NR 41 to 45 on April 30 at $4.40. One of the main contenders.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won a big 10 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:31.90) beating Erasmus in Up to 1 LTW on April 30 at $1.85. Strips fitter fourth-up and is expected to go on with the job.
