They are sure to run this along with Rising Wind and Precipice taking it up from a few of the first starters. PRECIPICE (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten one length. It was a very good effort. Drawn out here but can overcome it. Win chance here. MATZDEN (2) is a gelding by Darci Brahma on debut. Twice trialled for a second then a win. His dam has left two single race winning foals. Not out of this at all. SACRED COMBATANT (4) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Last start was a bit average. Wide draw. Chance here on rain-affected footing. NAVY DREAMS (14) showed slight improvement at last start. Well drawn again. Sly chance here after all the scratchings. RISING WIND (3) was a better run at last start. First race clockwise. Won a trial this way of going in February. SUGGESTED PLAY: Precipice and Matzden are win wagers.
