CENTRAL SOUTHLAND RACEWAY   03 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

DIAMOND CREEK / SBSR SOUTHERN SURGE SERIES TROT 2400m

Track: GOOD      

RANGITATA (4) faces the starter for the first time. By Tactical Landing and hails from the Phil Williamson stable. Will be ready to run a big race. MAJIC N THE PORT (1) ran fifth last start at this track over 2400m, beaten 10 metres. Expecting a very good run. WHAT'S THE WHISPER (9) is a three-year-old gelding from the Phil Williamson yard on debut. Has the right credentials to play a major role. TICKTOCK MCGLAUGHLIN (5) was well supported last start and after leading broke with 120m to run. Can place and should be included in exotic bets.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start 5th (Fr1) over 2400m at this track, beaten 10 m by Mor Moonlight (3:10.20) on July 17 at $7.50. The start before 9th (Fr5) over 2600m at Rangiora, beaten 45 m by Paddy McDaddy (3:25.40) on May 18 at $32.50. This looks a suitable assignment.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind The Greek Freak at this track over 2400m in a 3yo+ on June 26 at $106.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Mor Moonlight at this track over 2400m on July 17 at $38.50. Should be there at the business end.
