CAVALLO FARMS & CHRIS RUTTEN BLOODSTOCK HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD 4 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pace genuine with Shavasana and Bodacious Kate pressing hard closely followed by Colour Chart and Littleredcorvette. TULLAMORE DEW (6) won a trial before winning as expected on debut at Hawera last March. She has a good draw, is bred to get better with time, and she can remain unbeaten. SHAVASANA (3) is a progressive mare who did well on the poly track at Cambridge in the spring. She will be stronger this year, and even without a trial, she will be hard to hold out. COLOUR CHART (9) has changed stables since his last run, and will be close to his peak fitness fourth up from a spell. He is capable and can't be totally overlooked. WYNDSTORM (8) has had a freshen up and will find this assignment much easier than his last couple of runs in the spring. He has a decent draw and is good enough to take this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wyndstorm each way.
