THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE ROSS COLES 1600m Track: SOFT 7 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Family Folks, Shockatillatap and Hero Of War prominent. AWATERE (6) has run well in both runs so far this time in. He has a wide draw here but is still a win hope in this. ARUNDEL CASTLE (2) has been twice placed here. He has raced well in his last three starts. Drawn very wide. Same yard as the top pick tellingly. TRUTH OR DARE (11) resumes in this. Ready to rumble after two trials. Include the 3yo everywhere you can. ARJAY'S FLIGHT (1) he has run super in both runs this time in. Drawn nicely in this line up. He has won when third up too. PAX MUNDI (12) she was close up at last start and hinted some form was coming. Well drawn. A 4kg claim in this can make all the difference. SUGGESTED PLAY: Truth Or Dare is a win wager fresh up in this field.
