|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting Gate Crashers to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. NOT SO UNUSUAL (8) is a lightly tried but very talented staying mare. She has had a trial since her last start, third at Waverley, and is the one to beat for us in a very competitive field. TRUST ALONE (9) has been hitting the line strongly in her last couple of starts, and she is normally better racing in an anti-clockwise direction. A good draw should see her bounce back into the top 3 placings. Each way value. GATE CRASHERS (3) has been improving his fitness with each of his 3 runs back from a spell. The extra 250m will suit him, and he has each-way claims in this. LATEST MODEL (6) flashed home too late again at Whanganui 15 days ago, and is overdue for her next win. Bruno Queiroz sticks with her, and so do we. COTTON ROCA (5) has improved since being put over a middle distance, and another honest effort is on the cards. Each way. TRANZED (11) and PHATS (4) can both do better, and are worth including in all top 4 combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Not So Unusual can win this even race.
