TAB A.D. HOLLINDALE STAKES - GROUP 2 1800m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.22)  

Solid tempo with Lindermann leading while Bois D'argent and Just Folk also press. The feature race on the card, the $500,000 Group 2 Hollindale Stakes. BUCKAROO (2) has had two runs back this time in and looks to be building up to another victory. Has not been disgraced behind some quality gallopers of late and should be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Gets J Mac on for the first time and a bold showing is expected. LINDERMANN (3) has had a somewhat frustrating campaign hitting the top-four in all five runs without saluting. Racing very consistently however and has to be included in calculations. ANTINO (1) was a touch plain first-up but will be much better for that hit-out. Has won three from five when second-up and can feature in the outcome. FAWKNER PARK (4) has been thereabouts in G1 grade of late and may run a race with any luck from the outside draw. ELIYASS (8) is one from one over this distance range and can play a role while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,3,1,4.
