GOING: G(4)

KRAKATINI RIVER RIDGE 2YO SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 35)   Rail: True.  

Tricky one to map with a large contingent of first starters but expect good early pressure. SILVER DREAM (5) is a Yes Yes Yes filly on debut for the Lou Mary yard and did everything right in her lone lead-up trial, working to the line under a soft JPH ride - and he sticks for raceday. She looks ready to make an immediate impact. TRICIA'S RAINBOW (7), who actually beat her home in that same trial, also debuts and represents the Troy O’Neile stable. A Gold Standard filly, she’s another who can kick things off the right way. BLOCKER (2) never came into play on debut at the Sunshine Coast after settling a mile back, but he warmed to the task late. Now with the Hickman yard and kept ticking over with a Canterbury trial, he’s more than up to this. MAY THE FORCE (4) is a Cosmic Force filly on debut for Lyle Chandler, improving nicely between her two trials. Worth monitoring for any market push. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Silver Dream.
