GOING:

OFF TO STUD STAKES 1600m Track: GOOD Clouds (Max: 20) |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Acacia's Blossom, Sovereign Grant and Callmegetrix prominent. CALLMEGETRIX (9) is better than her last start run would suggest. She finished second in her previous four races. She has won twice, finished second once and third three times from seven starts over this distance. She is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back. WHITE PEARL (3) is better than her last start run looks on paper as she was reported to be in season. She is the best-weighted runner and if putting her best foot forward, she should pose a threat. FORGIVENESS (1) resumes from a spell which may have done her the world of good. She is unbeaten from two starts over this distance and if not in need of the run will prove hard to beat. TOMYRIS (10) returned from a spell over 1600m last start and scored by a neck at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Worth considering.
