CENTRAL SOUTHLAND RACEWAY   03 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

DIAMOND CREEK / SBSR SOUTHERN SURGE SERIES MOBILE PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD      

SAUCY DELIGHT (1) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 30 metres into seventh at Addington over 1980m. This should be an easier assignment so from a nice draw he is a major player. JACCKA HENRY (3) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 8 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Meets some better types this time but from a far better starting position he has the ability to test this field. ALWAYS B ROYAL (12) is also high on the list of contenders despite a tough draw. Best form measures up favourably in this line-up so just needs a bit of luck to go her way. RAMBLIN ROVER (9) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Miki Cohen at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m on July 6 at $19.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind He's Tough at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on July 17 at $4.40. Can play a role in the finish again.
