SADDLERY WAREHOUSE MAAT FINAL 1550m Track: AW True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Lucky Coral. DELZ ABEEL (1) was a short-priced favourite here nearly 2 weeks ago, and dug deep to score by a short-head. He won't find this any harder and only needs the right run from a wide gate to be the one to beat again. HOT LINE BLING (2) showed a nice turn of foot when arriving from near last to score by a short-head here 5 weeks ago. He has a senior hoop on this time, and will try and hold his spot from the pole position. Stick with him on an each-way basis. AMIRA D'ARGENTO (9) has turned a corner with her form in her last couple of starts. He ran on late for third here nearly a fortnight ago, and with some early luck here, he can figure in the top 3 again. RADRADRA (3) has been trying to win a race for some time, and has been placed in 3 of his 5 starts on this track. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Delz Abeel can repeat the dose.
