GOING: S(6)

HYLAND RACE COLOURS HANDICAP 2400m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.58)  

Genuine tempo with Casual Connection leading the way. WUDDZZ (6) tough staying gelding who strips fitter fifth up. Ran on late from back in the field when taking good ground off Casual Connection to secure second over 2400m at Randwick in this grade. Expect to see him a little closer in the run and prove hard to hold out. CASUAL CONNECTION (1) consistent gelding starting to build a good record with apprentice Molly Burke. Sat on the speed and pulled out plenty late when a dominant winner over this trip at Randwick. Big jump in weight but racing in peak form. SUN GOD (3) frustrating Waller-trained gelding who gets another chance on the better surface. Beaten a long way out in the heavy (9) going when thirteenth over 2400m at Randwick. McDonald rides and capable of better. AHURIRI (4) tough win second up over the 1900m at Canterbury, before turning in a dismal effort when dropping out to run eleventh over 2400m at Randwick. Another who can turn it around on an improving surface. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wuddzz can go one better.
