NUTRIEN EQUINE BAND 5 PACE 1660m Track: GOOD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
MAJOR HOT (3) was a beaten favourite last week but there was merit in his performance when he raced parked and stuck on. That made it back-to-back placings following his runner-up effort in the 4YO Championship prior. Can break through this time. ATTACHMENT (5) raced well through the carnival without a lot of luck with barriers, highlighted by seconds in The Hayden and the Rising Sun consolation. His last outing was at G3 level so he'll enjoy the class drop. ROCKET CITY (8) beat Major Hot home when runner-up last week and had won three of his previous five here. Starts alone on the back row and should have options from there. BEACHRIDE (7) draws wide but deserves respect off last week's win. ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (1) can improve from the inside draw.
