TOTE FOR THE WIN CLASS 5 1000m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 35) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A strong tempo is anticipated. CATAVAR (3) ran on strongly when winning his last start over this distance at Greyville after having placed second in both of his two previous runs. Racing in good form this prep and can go back-to-back. CAPPELLINO (2) showed good speed when winning his last start over this distance on the polytrack. Is in a good space and cannot be discounted. BLAST FROMTHE PAST (4) won a game race on debut over 1200m on the polytrack last start. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He takes on stronger rivals but could be anything and can remain unbeaten. FATE OF FORTUNE (12) raced wide around the turn last time but stayed on well to finish sixth. He gets the blinkers fitted for this contest. With a bit of luck from the widest draw, he should be figuring in the finish.
