VALLEY PLUMBING REDCRAZE BOWL 1400m Track: SOFT 5 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good pace with The Underbelly, Turn The Ace and Meglio Di Falcrest prominent. MAROTIRI MOLLY (1) tried hard for fifth on an unsuitable heavy track at Trentham 2 weeks ago, and she will be at her peak for this third-up assignment. She can make full use of the pole position and has won 4 times over this trip. She is the one to beat. TURN THE ACE (2) had to work hard and raced too keenly in front at Trentham over a mile last time out, 2 weeks ago. He is better placed over 1400m, and should race close to the pace again. He is ready now to break through for an overdue win. THE UNDERBELLY (7) is a quality stayer resuming from a spell. He has had a trial and is capable of a bold run fresh up, especially as the pace is sure to be genuine. KOPUA (3) might have found the mile a touch too far at this early stage of is prep when finishing seventh 6 days ago at Trentham. He has a good record third up, and can figure in the finish over 1400m here. BEDTIME STORY (4) finished fourth fresh up in the G3 Sweynesse Stakes at Arawa Park. She improves with racing. Each way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Marotiri Molly can win this.
