FOLLOW IN THE BOX SEAT PODCAST MR 68 HANDICAP 1000m Track: SOFT Rain (Max: 22) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hot early pace from Cotton Ron, El Draque and Gorgeous Dude going hammer-and-tongs, with a few others keeping them honest. RHYTHM (6) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1200m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MASK ON (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths into fifth. Chase Maujean gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. COTTON RON (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.2 lengths over 1200m at Greyville All Weather. Likely improver with strong prospects. EL DRAQUE (2) was beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1000m at this track last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
