PLAY KEY
Race 6-5 The Singer
I’ve been building up fitness this campaign and both runs back were good. He liked the line at the last start at 2000m when he rode some strong sections late at Mornington. He is better suited up to 2600 meters and gets Jye McNeil in the saddle. Think the price offered is higher in an even match.
Race 7-7 Financial Shogun
Won the fresh final preparation on this track/distance when he was in the lead and ended the preparation with a good run in Pakenham, who scored strongly before this. Logan Bates is leading the way and has had a great track record of leadership as of late. His recent Jump Out at Cranbourne was very good and shows he is back in good form. Great award considering it’s rated favorably and has had some good enough reviews in the past to win this.
Finance Shogun worked hard to find the lead and was still strong enough to turn them all away 💪 pic.twitter.com/qkS6DB8GVf
