BREAKFAST WITH THE STARS 10 JUNE Maiden Handicap 1350m Track: SOFT 5 Clear (Max: 21) Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 5.96) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
With little in the way of early speed Sugar Island may well find the front. GREEN SPRING (5) just ran into one better at Ipswich on debut and was heavily supported on that day. Is sure to have derived a stack of benefit from that race-day experience and looks the one they all have to run down. CAMBRIDGE BAY (4) came back in good order with a solid Ipswich third and will strip fitter for that hit-out. Top-three candidate. BATTESIMO (3) will be better for that debut effort and only needs some luck from the wide draw to play a role in the finish. ARGERICH (10) gets Williams on board and may run a race while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Green Spring on top.
