EVERGREEN BLOODSTOCK 1100m Track: SOFT 5 Out 6m |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Fat Albert, Thooza and Celestial Wonder leading the charge. VELOCIOUS (1) scored two runs back then she could only manage to finish tenth over 1200m in G3 Cambridge Breeders Stakes at Te Rapa after she had settled well back. Strange run at last start. Is unbeaten on this track in two runs and should win this. THOOZA (7) is a multiple class dropper resuming. Has won both of her starts fresh up. Course placed. Quinella and trifecta must. CELESTIAL WONDER (9) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in the tougher G3 Cambridge Breeders Stakes won by Ardalio over 1200m at Te Rapa. She is a multiple class dropper. Has been super clockwise. Drawn out. Trifecta and first four must. OUR BEAU (4) has been not too bad this time in so far. Ace gate. First race clockwise. LUCULLAN (3) was an impressive winner fresh up. Wide draw. This is his first race clockwise. Trial winner this way of going last month. SUGGESTED PLAY: Velocious and Thooza are win wagers.
