SPEIGHT'S SUMMIT ULTRA ON TAP MAIDEN 2200m Track: SYNTHETIC True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
KESSEY (4) has all the form on the board, including 2 minor placings from as many starts on this surface to start this campaign. She should go close to getting the job done this time. RUFUS (1) should be the main threat to the top pick after a couple of improvers efforts here recently. The step up from 1600m to 2200m should suit him, and he has each-way claims again. SHOCKING SECRETS (5) has yet to run into the top 3 in her career, and is usually running on too late in her races. She is nicely weighted after a 3kg claim, and is worth including in all top 4 combos. SALACIA PRINCESS (7) has shown some talent in the past, and she is only having her second run from the Meg Cunneen stable. Keep safe. GAP IT (2) is the best of the rest in a very modest lineup. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kessey should be winning.
