MIDWAY HANDICAP 1800m Track: Soft 5 Rain (Max: 16) Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.39) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo with Sunset Park leading from Monkhana and Starphistocated. STARPHISTOCATED (10) improving mare who ticks plenty of boxes today. Showed a ton of grit when sticking on strongly to finish second over 1800m at Randwick Kensington in BM64 class. Drops in weight from the low draw and the Glad You Think So form has since been franked. Hard to hold out. WILD THOUGHTS (7) exciting So You Think gelding who looks a worthy contender in this tougher contest. Rounded up inferior opposition with ease over the 1500m at Kembla Grange in C1 class. In leading Kembla yard and look for him late. MONKHANA (4) strengthened up over the break and racing in career best form. Up in weight and trip from the sticky draw today, after getting map favours when a sharp winner over 1500m here last start. Harder now and place claims look best. COTO DE CAZA (6) races best with his runs spaced and comes back in trip but jumps in grade. Since fitted with a 1100m tick over trial at Canterbury. Gets his chance from the draw. SUNSET PARK (5) is a capable mare in peak form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Starphistocated finds her race.
