GOING: S(5)

KENDRICK RACING Class 3 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 7m 400m-W/Post; Out 9m Remainder. (Pent: 6.61).  

Thankful Heart possesses good early speed and can run them along. HELIKEDEMPRETTY (7) was too bad to be true last time out but the three runs to commence the campaign were good enough to feature in a race like this. Has a win and a second from two efforts around this circuit and is expected to bounce right back to form. STORM THE FORTRESS (2) is yet to miss a drum in four attempts over this distance range and has a solid first-up record. Gets Dolan on from the low draw and can make his presence felt. Former Victorian THANKFUL HEART (3) has drawn perfectly in the inside marble and must be respected from the Neasham barn. In the mix. THE INFLICTOR (5) has placed two from two here and may earn some minor money again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,2,3,5.
