THE MANGROVE HOTEL HANDICAP 1615m Track: Good Rail: True. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Advanced should find the front with Starring Knight and Staaden on his heels. Cracking race with half a dozen genuine hopes and potentially a hot tempo. HAFEY (8) worked home very well at Northam to finish 3 len off the winner, and lobs in an easier looking race today. Stick with. STARRING KNIGHT (1) won well last time after a positive ride in similar at this track and can make it repeat wins in this. ADVANCED (2) ran out of juice at Pinjarra last time but looks better placed here and can make his presence felt. RED REBEL (4) likes it here and brings each-way claims again. STRIKING FELLA (7) has been freshened and seemingly never runs a bad one. Could win this one without surprising either. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tricky race, but going the way of Hafey.
