SPESSARTINE GARNET HANDICAP 1650m Track: GOOD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Moderate pace only with Toy Soltero leading Apache Pass. Tricky race on the All Weather. APACHE PASS (2) raced wide throughout his latest effort, but he did have cover when narrowly edged out over this course and distance. That effort does seem to be the key piece of form though and he gets a nice weight swing in his favour. Can go one better this time around. TALENTS AMBITION (9) rattled home from a long way back to just miss over the mile on the Turf course here 28 days ago. He's never raced on the All Weather surface, but he has won numerous trials on the surface previously and he drops sharply in weight for today's race. Can make his presence felt again. SO WE JOY (7) was beaten 3.3L over this track and trip 43 days ago, though that effort does rate well among this field. He's drawn nicely for Atzeni and he drops 3kg for today's event. Can finish in the money. BERLIN TANGO (1) got there on the post to win last start, beating Apache Pass by a nostril. Has to be included.
