BMD Class One Plate 2200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 6.10)  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Captain Love may lead the way over Roll Start. KOHALA (7) caught the eye two back when flashing home into third at Clare, then followed it up with another strong effort here last time when beaten a head over this trip. Backs up quickly and can get the job done this time. CAPTAIN LOVE (5) made a sound return when finishing midfield over the mile at Strathalbyn. This is a more suitable assignment and she gets the key booking of Toeroek. Take seriously. TAKEN ON FAITH (9) finds it hard to notch up her second win but boasts peaks that measure up and gets a welcome drop in grade. Expect her to stalk the early speed and be ready to pounce when they quicken. GIORGI (6) hasn't fired in her last two but her earlier form reads favourably and she should find this easier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Kohala.
