GOLDEN MILE @ DARLEY HANDICAP 1600m Track: HEAVY8 Clear (Max: 21) Rail: True. (Pent: 6.01). |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Danish Prince has good gate speed and can overcome the wide alley to lead. ELSIE MAY (8) appreciated the step up in distance when a dominant winner last start over 1550m at Canterbury. Open to further improvement at the third run back from a spell and can win again in a similar race. ALLHALLOWTIDE (10) was ridden more aggressively but couldn't finish off last time out over 1900m at Canterbury. Both his wins have come at this trip. Nicely placed to bounce back to form. SPACE AGE (4) has been safely held at both runs since crossing from Ireland. Strips fitter and will be more at home over the mile. No surprise to see him strike some form. PRESSER (2) defeated Sailor at Canterbury two back then didn't handle the class rise at Rosehill last time. Has his share of weight but back in this grade he is worth some thought. Distance specialist SAILOR (3) is racing well and is a solid top-four chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elsie May to salute again.
