GOING: G(4)

CAPTIVANT @ KIA ORA HANDICAP 2000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.27)  

Expecting Hurstville Zagreb to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. KIND WORDS (3) forced to work hard in a strong rating contest when fourth over 1850m at Newcastle. Tim Clark sticks in a weaker contest and she gets the gun run. HURSTVILLE ZAGREB (4) prepared to give one more chance on the firmer surface. Control freak who began awkwardly and was forced to chase hard before he folded up in the straight when seventh over 2000m at Kembla Grange. Expecting Hyeronimus to get the best out of him. BELLE DETELLE (2) ready for the 2000m now after racing closer to the speed when a sound third over 1800m at this track last Saturday. Leading contender. FORMAT (9) hard to catch on his day. Drops 4kg after his latest placing at Canterbury. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Kind Words.
