NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING FRIDAY 28 FEBRUARY PINNACLE STAKES 1800m Track: AW Rain (Max: 29) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hot tempo expected with Electric Gold, East Coast and Mount Anderson heading the charge. ELECTRIC GOLD (1) should have finished closer to the winner last start in his resuming run from a spell. Two of his five career victories have come over this distance. He will strip a much fitter horse today and with luck in the running may find himself in the winner's enclosure. JOY AND PEACE (8) was not disgraced when fifth last start. Two of her eight career victories have come over this distance. If jumping on terms, she should give the males a run for their money. UNDERWORLD (5) was well fancied supported when resuming from a spell over 1600m at this track at this track last start. Racing over a longer trip in a fitter state has winning claims. SEQUOIA (4) won by a nose over 1600m at this track last start when well supported. Jumping from an inside gate can go back-to-back
