THE THRILL OF WINNING WITH APG PACE 1609m Track: FAST |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
VESPA STRIDE (2) will enjoy a class drop having tackled higher-graded races in his last three outings. Had put together a string of wins and placings here prior and is well served by the low draw. WHAT FOR (8) draws wider but was dominant at this circuit and distance last week, scoring by more than 10 metres. That was his second success from his last four outings. Major player. LILS NIGHTMARE (5) draws lower and is looming as a threat after a good effort last start, coming from the outside barrier for third at this circuit and distance. WILL I AM (7) put the writing on the wall when runner-up last time and is race fit now.
