WILLOW TREE CUP 31ST MAY MAIDEN PLATE 1450m Track: Soft 6 Clear (Max: 22) Rail: True. (Pent: 6.12) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Good early pressure with Jason Darren or Saraya likely to take up the running. JASON DARREN (5) continues to knock on the door, recording seven straight placings including a brave second at Bathurst last time when up on the speed throughout. Racing consistently and gets his chance to break through in this suitable race. SARAYA (14) was far from disgraced when midfield on heavy ground at Taree last start. Strips fitter and draws well. Big threat. PERASTA (6) stuck on soundly into third at Beaumont (Newcastle) last start. Strips rock-hard fit and gets a key booking in Bullock. Have to consider. DREYMON (2) has shown enough to suggest he can play a major role. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jason Darren to win.
