R1/3- PRINCE TIKEA
Resuming today. His 2 debut races he came up against sharp company. This is a much easier race than those first 2 career runs and he should benefit from having had the race experience now. Showed good early speed in the 1st prep and is drawn in barrier 1 here, so expect him to get a super run and be every chance.
R8/14 - ZOULAH (EW/VALUE)
This is the feature race of the day, super tough so think we can play it for value. Majority of the favoured runners in this have drawn horrible barriers. ZOULAH is drawn in the middle but will settle mid-field anyway, so she can probably settle in behind some of the leaders that will try to cut across from the outside. Depending on what they have to spend to get across, she might be perfectly placed to get over the top late. Last start was an impressive 5th only 1.2L behind Dalasan, more ground to work with here will help.
R9/1 - RUN AND TELL (BEST OF DAY)
Comes out of the city and is dropping in grade for this today. He has been running well and won in a similar grade to this 3 starts back. He is a speedster, so expecting him to push forwards and control the race from barrier 1. Apprentice claim should help him finish this off late.
