AWAPUNI SYNTHETIC   24 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

DOUG GLASGOW PROPERTY BROKERS 2140m

Track: AW     True  

Hot tempo expected from Cuba Street and Lovely Rita. VICTORTHEINFLICTOR (2) did not have all the luck last start in a strong field at Cambridge on the poly track there, and did well to finish sixth. He should be suited by the extra 140m, and with some luck from a wide gate, he should go close to taking this out. A SENSIBLE PRINCE (3) was a dead-heat winner here 3 weeks ago when clearing his maiden status. He set the pace that day, and will be hoping to work his way across and race handy to the pace again here. He will continue to improve with racing and can now go on with the job. JUSTASKPERCY (5) has a very good record over this distance, and was back in winning form with a hard-fought nose win here just over 7 weeks ago. A recent trial has kept his fitness levels up, and from a handy gate, he has each-way claims again. NOVAK (1) has been racing consistently without winning for some time and has been placed in both of his starts on this track. Include in all combinations in a very even contest. VERARDINO (6) is another with a chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: In a very even field, Victortheinflictor could offer some each-way value.
