GOING:

FOLLOW IN THE BOX SEAT PODCAST D STAKES 1100m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 23)    

Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. PURPLE POWAHOUSE (7) lost a length leaving the start over 1000m on the polytrack last time and then ran on strongly to score a solid victory. He has won over this distance previously and may be the one to side with. ARVERNI PRINCESS (3) was not disgraced when third against stronger rivals last time. She won her penultimate race in this class over 1000m at Greyville. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and the combination merit healthy respect. ULTRA QUICK (8) has been well supported in his last two runs but failed to fire, the latest a seventh at Greyville All Weather over 1200m. In this line-up is worth another chance. FATE OF FORTUNE (2) was returning from a spell last time out and proved too strong when scoring by a nose over 1200m at Greyville All Weather. Fitter for that last run and has to be respected.
