|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting House Of Tudor to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. SHAKING STEVENS (1) was allowed to control the pace in front here last time out, and gave nothing else a chance when bolting in by a wide margin. He stays in the same class, but cops a nasty draw, and 3 kilos more to carry. He is still the one to beat. HOUSE OF TUDOR (11) ran a much better race last start, finishing second over 1600m at this track after being in contention on the home turn. She should hold her form now that she is fit and will be right in the fight again. Each way. MY BOY ZAC (4) has not won for a long while, but has been fourth in his last 3 starts. Placed to advantage and is generally hitting the line hard. If the gaps come at the right time, then he can figure in the top 3 here. SACRED DIOR (13) is still building up her fitness levels, and should be close to her peak levels third up from a spell. Include in all combos. SKIDDLYDOO (3) needed her fresh up run here 4 weeks ago, and has been to the trials since then. Don't risk her in this. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shaking Stevens can win again, but don't rule out Skiddlydoo at a price.
