RIVERROCK FARM - CHAD ORMSBY 1750m Track: HVY8 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The race pace looks marginal in this two-turn Maiden Highweight MITONIC (1) was a good run fresh up after leading for third. First race or trial left-handed. Still the one to beat now at 1750m. THE REPUBLICAN (2) showed good improvement last start at second run for a new yard. Best draw this time in so can pay a dividend. Include everywhere. SHOCKIFF (10) has been twice placed. Handles it dry and wet. Include everywhere for your multiples. CAMPALDINO (3) is a class dropper on last start here. Gradual improver so far. Bred to stay. Can pay a dividend in this. ZIGGY KHAN (11) was not too bad at last start then spelled. Has been twice trialled for a win and a second so very ready to resume. She is a chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mitonic is a win wager.
