GOING: H(10)

TAB A.D. HOLLINDALE STAKES 1800m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.48).  

Obvious leader comes out and leaves tactics interesting now. The $500,000 Group 2 Hollindale Stakes. HUETOR (2) couldn't have been more impressive taking out the JRA Plate at Randwick last time out when making up a stack of ground late. Will have come on now and gets Berry on board third-up. Has placed over this track and trip and should be right there at the business end. MIGHTY ULYSSES (8) is a bit of a hit or miss type but is certainly capable on his day. Has to be included. JUST FOLK (5) is on the quick back-up but doesn't mind that and the extra furlong will suit. Should be very competitive once again. KOVALICA (4) is a quality animal looking to regain his best form. Worth another chance. NUMERIAN (1) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Huetor to go back-to-back.
