Verdict

DRECK (2) has not been far away of late including last start when second over 6f at Hamilton. The longer journey should suit so expecting him to be in the finish from the favourable draw. WOLFOFFITROYSTREET (6) is back after a break of six months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at Horsham. Has run well at metro level previously and only needs to return to that form to be a major player. JUSTIBELLA (9) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 6 ½f at Bendigo, finishing 6 lengths back in seventh. This is more to her liking. CEYLON DIAMOND (7) is on debut at 7f but had a couple of trials at 5f, finishing second at the latest.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Sloppy

A wet racetrack condition, typically with a firm base and water settling on top.
