---|---|---|---|---|
Sizzling pace from Ran Na Lady, Island Tide and Red Boomshakalaka locking horns ahead of Hard Landing and Miss De Blaas.
AKAKA FALLS (2) loves this sprint journey with three wins and four placings from just eight attempts and gets plenty of weight off with the 3kg claim. In a suitable race and can build on the solid recent form. STATE IN TEXAS (9) wasn't disgraced in Listed company at the latest effort and will find this assignment much more to his liking. Can make his presence felt. RAN NA LADY (6) has won two from two when second-up and gets in well at the weights with the claim. Top-three aspirations. Former NSW galloper DEHORNED UNICORN (1) returned a winner for the new stable and has a bit of class over this field. In the mix. BIOGRAPHER (4) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,9,6,1.
