ANZAC Day Handicap 1200m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 31) Rail: True. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hot tempo expected with Siakam, Wolfburn and Swing With Junior heading the charge. WOLFBURN (2) is back home after a couple of runs at Morphettville to open this campaign. He is nearly 8 weeks between runs so the drop back to a sprint should not be an issue. He might need the run but is very well placed at this level and from a handy gate, he can't be risked. SIAKAM (1) is knocking on the door with 3 consecutive second placings in a row to commence this prep. He has not missed a cheque in 6 starts over this trip, including 2 wins. Hard to beat. HAMLET VON SNITZEL (3) finished third in his first start since making the move from Queensland and he usually improves quickly with racing. The extra 100 metres is ideal and he will pick up another win at short notice. SWING WITH JUNIOR (4) has won 2 of her last 4 starts and is only up half a kilo in weight for this. She is seldom far away and another win is not beyond her. ZOUMIST (5) did not kick on as expected last start after a solid resuming effort for second last month. She is good enough to make amends here. Can win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wolfburn to win.
