MAZDA ASPLEY PACE 2040m

Track: GOOD      

OCTOBER RACKETEER (1) ran ninth last start at this track over 2040m, beaten 18 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw this time in and will be able to settle much closer to the speed. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of playing a significant role. GOOD WORD THAT (9) was successful last time out by 2.25 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 2040m. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. THE HARRIS HAWK (10) is the next elect off a last-start win by a head at this track over 2040m. THE CASUAL GOOSE (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 2040m.
