---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting a strong gallop with Flaming Conquest and Tiger Tie taking up the running over I Am Voodoo. The penny has dropped for VINDICTA (8) who has strung back-to-back wins together this campaign and is racing with a lot of confidence. Loves this sprint journey with three wins and a second from just four attempts and winning rider Thornton sticks in the saddle. Plenty to like about his prospects. ARISPHERE (11) has won over this track and trip, draws favourably in gate two and gets 1.5kg weight relief with the claim. Ticks plenty of boxes for a race like this. PORT ERIN (5) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-five in 12 of 13 career outings. A must for the multiples. FLAMING CONQUEST (1) looks poised to run a big race third-up into the campaign. The apprentice claim helps chop the big weight as she's back in grade, but she'll give a bold sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 8,11,5.
