HAIFA LIGHTNING OPEN Handicap 850m Track: GOOD Rail: True. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Keen speed battle, with Mr Tangles, Flying Rupert and Clocks Ticking prominent. ABLETT (5) has been flying showing speed in his races. He clearly enjoys the short courses and has the advantage of drawing inside so should be able to hold the lead. Loves running for his apprentice so will carry little weight here. MAXIMUM OUTPUT (1) does come back from racing in metropolitan races just last week. Obviously that is harder. Will go up very strongly in the weights. MR TANGLES (2) rarely runs you a bad race. Both goes here have been sound ones. Has to give a sight. CLOCKS TICKING (6) has only missed once this preparation. At the right distance. Watch the betting with JAMESATELLI (4). SUGGESTED PLAY: Ablett can be a high flyer again.
