THE ROA CELEBRATES LIFE MEMBERS MIDDLE STAKES 3000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 25)    

They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. BREEZE OVER (1) ran a good race when second over 2400m on the Standside course last time. Despite a slow start, he set the pace before getting caught late. He finished second in his only attempt over this course and distance. Despite carrying top weight, he should be too good for this field. MO MENT (4) was outrun late over 2850m on the Standside course last time. Two of his four career victories have come on this course. Should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces. KEY WORKER (3) is better than her last start run over 2000m on the Standside course. She tries the 3000m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she should give the males a decent run for their money. ARUMUGAM (2) is better than his last start run over 2000m. He is worth another chance.
