CAVALLO FARMS & CHRIS RUTTEN BLOODSTOCK HANDICAP 1400m Track: SOFT 5 Out 5.5m |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate tempo with Littleredcorvette leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. THE BIG PICTURE (1) got back too far at Trentham last start and just battled home to finish not too far from the winner. His form prior was building nicely, and he can bounce straight back into the money here. STIPULATOR (5) just peaked on her run at Waverley last start in a race that did not have much pace up front. She is running out of chances, but if she can find her best form from earlier in her career, then she could win this. COLOUR CHART (6) failed to fire last start, after performing well in her first start for Andrew Campbell before that. He is worth another chance. JOHN DOE (3) won here in his penultimate start over this trip, and may not have seen out the mile at Whanganui last time out. Stick with him on an each-way basis. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stipulator each way.
