WHAT THE CHUCK HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD 4 Rain (Max: 15) Rail: True. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine pace with Science Degree taking up the running ahead of Queen's Sacrifice and Cocoon Bay. SCIENCE DEGREE (5) led all the way last time at this track, fending them all off for an impressive win. Very keen to stay with today. PULL THE TRIGGER (4) pulled up with a respiratory problem last time, so prepared to overlook that run. Two back was only beaten 0.8 len and that kind of effort would make him more than competitive again today. KAKADU (3) hasn't been far off this campaign and should be somewhere around the money again. THE JESTER'S SON (7) ran well resuming and should take plenty of improvement into this. Stay with. RULING DAME (12) was less than 2 len off in a similar race last start and looks an each-way player once more. SUGGESTED PLAY: SCIENCE DEGREE is the one they have to catch.
