GOING: G(3)

TERRY BROTHERS 1200m

Track: GOOD3     True  

Showbastian Coe, Mr Fortrus and Rabega to match motors but there will be other pressure. TOLSTOY (2) raced with purpose on wet tracks last prep, winning twice from just the 6 starts. He might need the run, but has won 3 times over the trip, and if ready, he will be hard to hold out. Check the market. EGYPTIAN QUEEN (4) was sent for a spell after being late scratched before her last run just over 10 months ago. She has had a couple of tune-up trials last month, and is nicely placed after a 3kg claim. She should go close here, especially if any money comes for her. PLATINUM DESIGNS (5) resumes from a spell and has won fresh up in the past. His record over this trip is only modest, but he is stronger now, and from a decent gate, he can't be taken lightly. RABEGA (7) has only been lightly tried, and his record is very good, adding a win to those stats here 6 weeks ago. He likes the track and can repeat the dose. COOPER (3) was beaten by a wide draw at Te Rapa 4 weeks ago, and was a big fresh up winner here before that. He is better placed on this track, so go again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rabega each way.
