TCL EARTHWORKS 1550m Track: SYNTHETIC True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good pace headed by Maria Martina, Realta Forsai and Kenwood House, with Mal Sueno and Altiplano close by. ALTIPLANO (1) likes this surface, and he was a bold runner-up here as the favourite 2 weeks ago. He will be peaking third up, and he is good enough to overcome his tricky gate to win this. KENWOOD HOUSE (2) will be backing up quickly from Te Rapa on Sunday, where he finished fourth as the favourite. He is racing well, and he can take this out. Follow your money. EL SPEEDY MAN (3) tried hard here on debut when finishing runner-up, and the new training partnership of Rogerson/Isdale is starting to hit its straps. Craig Grylls can help offset the wide gate, and his first win is not far away. REALTA FORSAI (4) had a tough trip and peaked on his effort late off a bad gate on debut here a fortnight ago. An extra 250m and a better draw will suit him, and he can figure in the top 3 here. IN YOUR DREAMS (9) finished third in her first run on this surface last time out, and with the aide of the pole position, she can run into the money again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Realta Forsai each way.
