|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good pressure from the outset with Danish Fortune, Full Regalia and Taipan Legend taking up the running over Shotgun Bella and Unreachable. POISEN POINT (10) stalked the pace and looked to have every chance but struggled a bit at the end of 1600m at Randwick last start. Far better placed dropping back to this trip. Nicely in after Neale's claim and just needs a few breaks from an awkward gate to be right in the finish. HELL OF A FOX (7) was crunched from $3.10 into $2.60 and got the job done impressively in open company over this distance at Canberra last time out. Has been in work for a long while but continues to perform. At her best over 1400m so another big run is likely. SHOTGUN BELLA (15) has been about the money in town since a first-up win over 1100m here. Has only missed the placings once in ten starts. Will race handy and give a great sight again. KRANICH (9) caught the eye in the dying stages over 1100m at Dubbo recently. Boasts a 100% top three strike-rate at 1400m. Wide gate the only concern. DANCES WITH HOOVES (3) returned in good order at Tamworth last start and has a far better second-up record. SUGGESTED PLAY: Poisen Point to win with a saver on Hell Of A Fox.
