MALLARD CONTRACTING HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD Rail: True. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Romero and Talking Heads should set a strong tempo. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE (2) has to overcome a wide gate but brings two narrow defeats this grade and trip. Has a senior hoop on replacing the 3kg apprentice, and with average luck he can win. TALKING HEADS (1) beat the above home in that contest, spiking his figures. Maps well and races forward. The 3kg claim takes care of the weight rise, and he is a decent chance to keep the ball rolling. CHEEKY CHARLOTTE (5) resumed at Belmont for the in better company and has switched stables on a 23-day return. She'd win at best but has to handle the surface and a very wide barrier. Stablemate PRIMATIVE (6) led and went close here second up. Draws inside again and stripping fitter also has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to General Knowledge.
