HERB STENT MEMORIAL HANDICAP TROT 2500m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
KINK (9) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his victory last start, scoring over 2000m here on Tuesday. Goes back 15m in the handicap but owns a good record at this longer distance so could strike again. VERY MAJESTIC (7) produced another strong performance on Tuesday when she battled on bravely for second behind Kink. Meets that rival better at the handicap and she hasn't missed a place here. DARK GHANA (2) didn't do a bad job when sixth at Addington last time out. This looks a suitable assignment. REGAL GIRL (6) owns a good second-up record and must be considered after she finished third when resuming here a couple of days ago.
