SPEIGHT'S SUMMIT ULTRA ON TAP MAIDEN 1600m Track: SYNTHETIC True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
WARRIOR BOY (4) ran along far too quickly in front here as the favourite just over 2 weeks ago, and understandably faded in the run to the line. He is reunited with regular hoop Sima Mxothwa, who will take 3kg off his back, and he is worth another chance. Follow your money. RESERVOIR (2) finished less than a length from the winner as the favourite here, fresh up 15 days ago, and he will carry a kilo less this time. He strips fitter and can take this out. TUSSAR (3) stepped up to 1600m for the first time and turned his form around by finishing runner-up by less than a length. He faces a similar lineup and is capable of going one better. BAGGIO (5) travelled strongly here last start, and loomed like the winner before finishing third 9 days ago. He is long overdue, and one day, when the penny finally drops, he could probably win more than one race. Only for the loyal. FAH RONG (1) has been improving on the poly surface, and he put the writing on the wall last time out. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Warrior Boy can take this out.

NAYTON MITCHELL 3YO GREY GELDING 58.0KG BLEAKLEY BLOODSTOCK LTD, N R MITCHELL & P WINCHESTER Raced two times to date. At big odds at debut, 11th of 14 at this track on May 27 over 1400m, 14 len behind Student Of War carrying 55.5kg at $31.40. Second-up 6th of 12 at Phar Lap Racecourse on June 7 over 1600m, on heavy track; 5 len behind Cambalache with 58.5kg at $25.70. Can't recommend on that form, looking to others. |
