GOING: G

Ranvet National Apprentice Race Series 2025 Rating 0 - 60 Handicap (Heat 6 Prov. Pathways Series) 1600m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m 1200m Chute; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.61)  

Keen battle for the lead with We've Gotta Deel, There Goes My Hero and Wild Winner in advance of Sirmaze and Don't Matta Me. Good contest. WILD WINNER (11) didn't give a yelp last start in the LR Clare Lindop Stakes but that was a big step up. Her two prior read favourably and suspect she will be hitting her straps fourth-up. Bold showing anticipated. RABTAT (1) has struggled in his last two when up in grade but there's no denying he's got his share of ability. Drops back to a winning trip and will find this easier. THERE GOES MY HERO (3) gave backers a bold sight last start at Oakbank, only to tire late. Fitter now and expecting him to relish the mile. WE'VE GOTTA DEEL (9) made light work of easier opposition last start at Strathalbyn. Carries confidence staying at a winning trip. Will just need some luck from the wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Wild Winner.
