GOING: N

STU VALENTINE FOR BLOODSTOCK INSURANCE PACE 1730m

Track: FAST   Clouds (Max: 19)    

TENMINUTES (5) stepped up in grade and faded to fourth after leading as a hot favourite last time but was in strong form prior, winning three of his other four starts here following a switch from Victoria. This suits so give him another chance. RATATATTAT (2) pulled up lame when a beaten favourite last start so that result can be forgiven. Good effort to finish runner-up from a wider barrier two back. Player from the good draw. GDANSK (7) has been runner-up in both starts here since a spell, the latest from this same barrier. Should be close to his peak now. RUNKLE (10) was runner-up from this barrier last start and is suited dropping to the distance that has produced both of his wins.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Sao Paulo Simba at this track over 1730m in a 3yo No NR CG on March 28 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Im Lord Tommy at this track over 2260m in a 2 WINs on April 23 at $1.75. One of the better chances.
