NEVILLE PARNHAM HANDICAP 1600m Track: SOFT 6 Rain (Max: 18) Rail: True. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine tempo from Rock In Wonder leading Idyllic Ruler. Neville Parnham will be looking to win his own race with DECISION MAKER (7) following a strong come-from-behind effort at Belmont last start. He draws a much better gate this time and he's shown the wet track isn't an issue. Can land a touch closer in the run and land the knockout blow. IMPRESSIVE JEWEL (12) dropped back from the Belmont Oaks to win her maiden in good fashion over 1650m at Belmont last start. She put up a solid rating in doing so when sitting up on the speed. This is tougher, but Pike hops on and she'll be tough to run down with no weight on her back. BE AWESOME (5) quickened the best over 2025m to score last start and while he drops in trip today, that wasn't a staying test by any means. He was a good winner over this trip prior and he can land in a handy position from the gate. Can bring up the hat-trick. NOBLE CONNECTION (3) is racing in good order and can land the hat-trick. CATCH THESE HANDS (4) was strong first-up and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Decision Maker can get the job done.
