CENTRAL SOUTHLAND RACEWAY   08 May 2025
 
GOING: N

REGENT CAR COURT MOBILE PACE 2400m

Track: GOOD      

RAKASANDY (7) has been a bit hot and cold and that continued last start when he finished second, beaten half a metre, in a better performance at this track over 2400m. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the sound recent effort. TEN DA TOUCH (2) was successful at his most recent outing by 2.25 metres in a solid performance at Ascot Park Raceway over 1700m. Has the benefit of a good draw and rates a leading hope in a similar race. MR PRESIDENT (6) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 2400m here four days ago. One for the multiples. FOREVER ARDEN (12) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this circuit most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix with any luck in running.
