RICCARTON PARK   29 May 2025
 
GOING:

CUP WEEK HOSPITALITY COMING SOON RATING 65 1400m

Track: AW     True position  

Genuine tempo with Forever Babe leading the way. RULE OF LAW (1) looks a big chance to win this. One of the contenders with the blinkers added. A 4kg claim here helps his cause. Wide draw but has been placed in both runs here. HOT COCO (6) ran a super close-up third when resuming. She has a good course record. The mare is drawn well and is a strong chance here. FOREVER BABE (5) drawn okay and ran a decent race at last start. Course winner. Include the mare everywhere here. SONNET (3) won well here fresh up. Same grade here and can handle the 1kg rise. She has drawn out here but can cope. SWAY UP (4) won well here last start. He is a partial class riser. Once again he claims 4kg. Cannot be omitted here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rule Of Law is the one to beat after a 4kg claim.
