GOING: H(8)

DUCK & COVER MAIDEN 2200m

Track: HEAVY 9     Out 5.5m  

There is some pace and pressure in this big field around two turns and several will be wide for large portions of the race. SASSY LASS (6) is a Maiden winner in waiting after four placings in a row. Wet tracker. Senior rider on here. Can win this for sure. PROCELLA (8) is much improved of late and she is getting stronger too. Can pay a first dividend today. Quinella and trifecta chance here for sure. THE REPUBLICAN (1) has also been much improved in his last three runs. Wide gate here. Can pay a first dividend here or be first four. SMOKIN MO (7) was not too bad in last two runs. Wide draw. Senior rider atop. Has been placed four times. Chance here. RASANTE (9) her only placing came here at this trip. Better at last run. Is a definite prospect here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sassy Lass and Procella are win wagers.
