SADDLERY WAREHOUSE 1550m Track: SYNTHETIC True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid pace with Man O' Slew finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. ALTIPLANO (1) will still be on the up with his fitness, and he did not have the best luck as a beaten short-priced favourite here 2 weeks ago. The in-form George Rooke will replace an apprentice, and this gelding can set the record straight. Follow your money. KENWOOD HOUSE (2) has improved his form with racing this prep, and his third here last time out was good. He cops a tougher gate this time, but he is still a sound top 3 hope. ADLERIAN (7) has yet to race up to her good trial form, and she resumes from another spell. She has been placed in her only start on a poly track, and she may not be the worst to include in all top 4 combos here. PINE LEAF (6) settled back too far from a wide gate at Te Rapa last time out, and a superior draw here will make all the difference. Don't risk her. MAN O' SLEW (4) fought on well enough fresh up when finishing fifth here 4 weeks ago over 1300m. The extra 300m will suit him, and he can run into a top 4 placing in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Altiplano should win this.
