|
Expecting Drialle to take up the running with Powerful Eagle and Fast Da close at hand. DRIALLE (1) has been racing in stronger company and pulled up with the thumps at Doomben 7 days ago over a mile when in the market. He draws low again and is likely to control the race. Must be pleasing, and an in-form senior hoop goes back on. MARENARO (5) resumes and has switched from a NSW barn. He has the ability and has won over this trip. Maps well, and the betting will be key. POWERFUL EAGLE (3) is proven third-up and is at his best this distance range. He can be in the finish. LONDON POINT (8) led unexpectedly at Moree, beaten a whisker stepping up to a mile. Has plenty of weight relief this grade and is also in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Drialle appeals.
