SALUTING OUR SOLDIERS PACE (SKY 1) 1800m Track: GOOD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
BOULDER CITY (1) had been racing in great heart, then went close again last time over 1800m at this track, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Good enough to take out a race like this. DON ARTHUR (10) ran third last start at this track over 1800m, beaten 5 metres. Expected to run well. NIKI NAH NAH (6) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1800m at this track last time out. Each way value this time. DIDMESELFAMISCHIEF (8) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1800m at this track on April 22. Watch closely.
