VICBRED PLATINUM HOMEGROWN (3YO TROTTERS) 1720m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
SKY SPIRIT (10) hasn't raced since May but is likely to have developed with maturity and showed ability in winning two of four starts at the maiden campaign. Tricky draw but with even luck could make a winning return. KYVALLEY JENNY (2) led from a few spots wider and stuck on to place when resuming at this circuit and distance. Has won second-up before so should be improved and has the speed to take advantage of the low draw. BAT OUT OF HILL (8) came from this row when runner-up here last time. Should enjoy a nice trial and goes well at this distance with a win and a placing from two attempts. DANCE FIGHTER (4) was down the track in a Breeders Crown heat last time but was good when she went under by just a head here prior. Manners are proving a problem for KEAYANG MINNESOTA (3) but she has won a trial since she last raced. Chance if on her best behaviour.
