GOING:

DARE 2 DREAM RACING SYNDICATE CLASS 4 1500m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 24)    

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Ocotillo. DREAM SEARCHER (7) made it two wins in a row last start when she scored by one length over 1400m at Kenilworth. Has won three of last four. Winning rider Craig Bantam retains the mount. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. PENTOLINA (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 21 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That was in open class and back a notch for this. Nicely placed to test this line-up. RIKKITIKKITAVI (6) finished second last start over 1400m at Kenilworth, beaten one length. This doesn't look as hard so she is sure to be prominent. DIAMOND BOMBER (2) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when eighth over 1400m at Kenilworth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
