VALE SYD BROWN HANDICAP 1300m Track: Soft 7 Rain (Max: 14) Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.64) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Starmae, Struck Gold and Bat Out Of Hell can set a genuine tempo. Very tough close to the day for punters. BELIEVE IN ANGELS (11) is the best option after his nice return over 1100m here a fortnight ago. Scored at this track when second-up last prep. Will race handy and should still be there at the business end. STRUCK GOLD (8) was seven weeks between runs when a game second over 1100m here last start. Form at this distance reads well so with that run under the belt he looks a serious contender. LOVE SHUCK (7) has been tackling open class sprints of late, the pick of the efforts a closing third at Wagga three back. Small risk at 1300m but with a cosy run from gate two he should be thereabouts. MISS HADES (13) has been freshened up since failing over 1500m at Hawkesbury on 3 May. Back in class today and gets the blinkers on for the first time so a return to form is on the cards. KADALL (6) has been in the money at eight of ten runs at this distance. Must go in all the exotic bets. SUGGESTED PLAY: Believe In Angels each-way.
