RACE ONE
MEGIDDO (1) ended up back in the pack from gate 3 last start and then finished towards the rear. That followed a luckless effort when unable to find open space after being locked away from inside the 2nd line. Hustling to hold, there looks an absence of mid-race pressure which suits here.
SWAFFHAM WATER (7) was angled to the pegs last start and locked away 4 back, she was charging home when the gaps started to open and went within 1m of the winner RITCHIE BEE, running some smart closing panels. With the easy trip on offer she can take the snipers shot when it presents.
VANTO HANOVER (8) settled in the pocket trail over the sprint trip here 2 starts back and used the passing lane to be 8m in arrears of the winner. Fighting gamely last start, she is in the mix.
SPLASH OF GOLD (9) has placed at her past 2 starts, the latest when looming up and hitting the front in the stretch, only to be collared on the line. In nice touch, she won’t be too far away.
