RACEHORSE OWNERS ASSOCIATION CLASSIFIED STAKES 1200m

Track: AW     3m out at the 421m mark  

Hot pace certain with Pashtunwali, Swiss Walt and Coastal Path keen to take up the running. COASTAL PATH (3) cost himself winning over 1300m last time as he hung over the closing stages. He gets the blinkers fitted which should keep his mind on the task at hand. With luck in the running after jumping from the widest draw can return to winning form. PASHTUNWALI (1) finished fourth of nine last start beaten 2 lengths at this track over 1300m. Looks the one to beat. SWISS WALT (2) was disappointing in his last start over this course and distance. On his previous two efforts on this course, he should be figuring in the finish. BENNELONG POINT (9) finished second last time over 1200m at this track, beaten half a length. Rates highly and is worth including in exotic bets.
