THE RACE AGAINST SUICIDE RACE DAY 21ST JUNE 3YO&UP MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: +3m 1100m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. DORALEE (6) comes here in peak condition and ready to win from the low draw. Chased hard at her second run back when a tenacious third over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Lugging bit and tongue tie go on for this. Ready to win. KOWLOON VICTOR (3) Written Tycoon gelding from a Pins mare on debut for the Baker yard. Has shown potential in both trials in town and expected to feature prominently. THAIBEEFSALADE (10) mare resuming on her home track in what looks a winnable race. Failed to fire in her three runs last time in and since fitted with a handy fourth in an 800m Kembla trial. Stalks the speed and worth plenty of thought. RUBILACE (9) has a fitness edge over most of these and will find this easier after drifting back from the wide gate when eighth over 1400m here in a Super Maiden. Will race closer from the better draw. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Doralee gets her chance to get off the mark.
