Bordertown   14 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G(3)

Border Blinds Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1550m

Track: GOOD3     Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace with Dylan's Lad and Rokabye Warrior up front, pressured by Kikorangi and See De Night. ZAIN PRINCE (5) returned to somewhere near his best last time when leading, only to be nabbed late last time out at Murray Bridge. Backs up quickly and is drawn to advantage. Can give them something to chase once again. SUPREME THUNDER (7) comes here third-up and looking to peak following a good run at Mt Gambier last time out. Will get back again from the draw, but with genuine pace engaged he gets the chance to reel them in late. ROKABYE WARRIOR (4) disappointed at the midweeks when dropping out the back but backs up quickly and is worth forgiving. SEE DE NIGHT (6) drove hard to arrive just in time at Mt Gambier. This is tougher but he deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zain Prince to win.
