Thomas Farms Handicap 1400m Track: Soft 6 Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.08) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Headphones and Following Sea will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. SURPRISE COMING (6) found winning form when digging deep to get the job done in Melbourne last start. Races well at this track having won here twice before so is a big chance to go back to back. MARACOURT (1) showed improvement in the latest appearance. Owns a good record here and has never missed a place when third-up so could be ready to peak. It's been a long time between wins for VALIDATED (4) but his recent form suggests he's getting closer to his best. ANGELIC APPEAL (14) did a good job to place in the latest appearance so can play a role again while HEADPHONES (12) has been racing well in is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Surprise coming to win again.
