MARK DUNCAN LIVESTOCK 2140m Track: SYNTHETIC True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate pace from Lalume taking it up with Wind Talker and Zeddiani on her back. UNUSUAL NUGGET (1) found the line late on a testing heavy track at Hastings a month ago, and he should be suited by this synthetic surface. He meets a very modest field, and we have put him on top. RUNAWAY PRINCESS (3) ran on strongly late here 3 weeks ago, and she will continue to improve with further racing. She does not have to improve by much to be hard to beat this time. SLOANE SQUARE (2) ran a marginally better race fresh up here 3 weeks ago, and he seems to be stronger this year. Include in all top 4 combos. ZEDDIANI (6) is a one-paced mare who is at her best when ridden on the pace. She will be peaking fourth up from a spell, and would not be a shock winner. LALUME (7) has fewer convictions than most of her rivals, and she tries this trip for the first time. She maps to get the run of the race from the pole position, and in this field, she is another winning hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Unusual Nugget can win this.
