LES WEBSTER MEMORIAL 1200m Track: SOFT 7 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Ima Brazen One, Kakadu and Showbastian Coe to match motors but there will be other pressure. ST GILES (11) only ran out of steam late when resuming at Trentham nearly 2 months ago, and he has been given plenty of time to get over that effort. He rises in class on paper, but this field is no great shakes for an open-class contest, and he drops 2kg. Stick with him. SINDEE (4) was beaten in stakes company fresh at Otaki 18 days ago, and she will find this much easier. She has not missed a cheque in 3 starts second up in the past, and she is expected to finish a lot closer this time. Each way. BOOMTOWN BOY (5) resumes from a spell, and he is often about the money without winning often. He usually takes a run, but he did win a recent trial comfortably, so expect a good run fresh, especially if the money comes for him. IMA BRAZEN ONE (3) was well beaten in stakes grade fresh, but she will be a lot sharper second up. He stable is running hot, so don't underestimate her. IDYLLIC (2) has a good draw, and may try to take them all the way. Include in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: St Giles each way.
