BUPA LONGWOOD CARE HOME HIGHWAY STAKES 2147m Track: SOFT 5 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo expected from Maximus Augustus, Generation Joy and Short. SIGHT TO SEE (6) had put together a couple of strong efforts at Trentham and then found her preferred heavy track here nearly a month ago, scoring comfortably by a length. She was a game third here on Saturday, and she is the one to beat again. MAMAEA (11) is another toff in the wet, and was a game fourth with a slipped saddle here on Saturday. She gets a nice draw, and though she will be racing out of her grade, she still has solid each-way claims. CAFFEINATED (9) made the front early on at Wingatui last start and kept up a strong gallop to score by well over a length. That may be the tactic to use again to get the best out of this mare, and she may take some catching. PRINCE ALBY (2) has been out of form, but has also not had much luck. He needs a heavy track, and if he is in the right mood, he would be too good for this field. PROSERVE (3) was thereabouts on the first day here, and he is another who, on his day, would be very hard to hold out. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Alby and Proserve to find some form again.
