CENTRAL SOUTHLAND RACEWAY   03 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

DIAMOND CREEK / SBSR SOUTHERN SURGE SERIES MOBILE PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD      

PASSCHENDAELE (13) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 2400m at this track. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw. Sure to be right there at the finish. ALWAYS BE BATMAN (7) finished fourth last start over 1980m at Addington, beaten 21 metres. Best recent result was a win at Ascot Park Raceway three starts ago over 2200m. Has to contend with a very wide draw. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. MAJOR ART (12) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2400m at this track last time out. Each-way claims.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fourth behind Double Quick at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m on July 6 at $12.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Aint No Angel at this track over 2400m in a 4yo+ on July 17 at $13.50. Starts from a good draw and should be involved in the finish.
