---|---|---|---|---|
No Ragrets and Odette's Orchids possess good early speed. VIVIKA (5) classy filly expected to bounce back to winning form in this easier assignment. Demolished a good maiden field two back at Grafton, before heading to town with a gritty on pace fourth over 1200m at Eagle Farm. Winning apprentice hops back aboard and should prove too strong for these. BARRON (9) finally got off the mark at start thirty-five when pouncing late to score over 1200m at Casino. Drops in weight and he finds a very average BM58. STOINKA (1) jumped in grade from the sticky barrier when fifth over 1200m at Ipswich in a BM65. Assess on his tough win here two back when shouldering 61kg. NO RAGRETS (7) holding his form and gets an economical run today from the good gate after running on late when second over 1000m at Casino. Key jockey change and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vivika has the upside to bounce back.
