Race by race overview

Race 6:

(7) Vee Rod has been competitive in stronger races recently and appears to get a better set up here today that should help him find improvement to get back to winning form. Drawn wide in his last few starts, he has been strong through the line despite tough runs but draws much lower today which should give him a softer run and will help him with a rise in distance. Apprentice Sophie Potter takes the ride and will take 2kgs off his back which is another key to his chances late.

Selections:

(7) Vee Rod
(1) Rockabye Warrior
(8) Grinzinger Allee
(2) Normie No Show

Suggested Bet: Win (7) Vee Rod
