|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting Montana Bay to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. UNDISPUTED (5) was rolled as a hot favourite on debut, but he did have an excuse, and was put aside to further mature. He has won another trial in the lead-up to his return, and if he can bring that performance to the races, then he can make amends. Follow your money. HIGH ROLLER (3) did not run on as expected last time out at Taupo, but he also had an excuse. He will be spot on here with a couple of gear changes, and with Opie Bosson back in the saddle, he can put his best hoof forward. CURZON PARK (7) has been racing well without much luck, and will relish getting out to 1400m for the first time. Each-way value with the blinkers on for the first time. TOP RICH (8) has progressed nicely at the trials, and from a good draw with Craig Grylls in the saddle, he will be ready to rumble. Watch the market closely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Curzon Park at each-way value.
