REMEMBERING DAVE "DJ" O'SULLIVAN 1200m

Track: SOFT 7     Out 9.5m  

The pace here in this Maiden 3yo event over 1200m looks not too bad at all. AKENEHI (8) has not gone a bad race lifetime. Trial second late last month. One to beat here on dry or wet ground drawn okay. THUNDERHILL (2) twice placed but has not run a bad race lifetime. Top tier must here on dry or wet footing. BELLA VOCE (9) has run well in both starts before being spelled. Trial fourth last month so ready to go. Drawn to be a win chance here at home. ONE MORE DANCE (11) was a good run at first start for third. Trained left-handed so very much suited here. A 3kg claim will help her cause too. SUGGESTED PLAY: Akenehi is a win wager.
