||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine tempo with the speedy Rediener and Major Beel matching motors. ATC Australian Derby winner MAJOR BEEL (12) has come back much stronger this time in and he won't know himself with just 51.5kg. Nice win first up over this track and trip before being collared late when fifth to Fangirl over 1600m in the 7+ Stakes at this track on September 21. Should get control from the outset and prove hard to run down. CEOLWULF (7) exciting prospect at his top for this fourth up. Back in trip today after looming strongly when second in the G3 King Town over 2000m here on September 21. Can get cover early and take plenty of holding out. KOVALICA (4) enigmatic gelding who resumed in good order with a fast finishing third in the G2 Tramway over 1400m here on September 7. J Mac keeps the ride and he should get his chance from the low draw. TOM KITTEN (9) showed an explosive turn of foot first up before being snagged back from the wide draw when an even fifth over 1400m in the G3 Bill Ritchie Handicap here on September 21. Poorly drawn but too good to dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Major Beel each way.
