RACING TODAY DERBY PLATE 2000m

Track: AW      

A few on-pacers lining up so it should be keenly contested. WAHEED (3) ran a good race when second in a Listed event last time. He raced from a handy position but found one too good on the day. The son of Time Thief tries the 2000m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he may be the one to beat. AHEAD OF THE FACTS (5) followed up his maiden win with a good second-place finish over 2200m at Kenilworth last start. Each-way chance. MASTER FORESTER (1) finished fourth last time out over 1600m at this track. Tackles a longer journey this time. Change of rider to Richard Fourie who has never been out of the money in five rides, including a win. Expected to measure up well. CORAL CREEK (2) won a good race over 1600m on the polytrack last time. He does have work to do at the weights. However, he is in a good space and should run a creditable race.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th in a small field at this track on March 21 over 1600m, 4 len behind My Best Shot carrying 60kg at $41. The run before that 2nd of 14 at this track on February 14 over 1600m, nose behind Grandiosa carrying 61.5kg at $2.10. Genuine contender under these conditions.
