GOING: S(5)

DEBBIE HENDERSON & PETER KENNEDY ENGAGEMENT 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

Mr Darcy to set a strong tempo joined by Forseti pressing on from an outside draw. LETHAL ROC (5) is still in her initial prep and has raced her way into some good form, finishing third at her 2 most recent starts. A wide gate on a heavy track may not be an issue, and she is the one to beat in this. TAIMATE WARRIOR (10) has been a touch on the weak side, and her effort for sixth on the poly track at Riccarton was good enough for her to be an each-way threat from a good draw in this. FORSETI (4) probably should have won a race by now, and if she can find a cheap lead, she could take some pegging back. Include. RED MOON RISING (1) needs to improve a lot, but she is in the right race to do so. Include in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Forseti each way.
