THE KITTY CUP PACE 1720m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
RAGING WHITEBAIT (10) has been well travelled of late. Galloped from a standing start in Tasmania last time and had been tackling good company at Melton prior. Won the only time he attempted this distance and while the draw is tricky he finds a winnable assignment. HARLEEQUIN (2) was fifth when tackling a handy line-up of mares at Menangle last start and came from the second row for back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance prior. Up in grade but draws to advantage. WESTERN STYLE (9) draws on the second line but hasn't been far from the placegetters in the city of late and should be ready to peak now. BARNSTORMER (3) is building in fitness and can feature from a nice draw.
