BEST BET - #10 - Wrote To Arataki
Wrote to Arataki is absolutely flying at the moment after resuming from a spell she came on strong to end up third first up at the Valley and then went onto Sandown, sitting on the speed and working home strongly behind Life Lessons to end up third again. Last start she went to Flemington and Kah jumped aboard, rode her to the front and the rest was written from there, winning with something in hand. She has great upside still and will be all the better with the runs on board.
THE DANGER - #11 - Snapped
Snapped is another who can do no wrong at the moment. He’s racing for the Freedman stable third up here and Zahra takes over from Cartwright which is a bonus. He returned to the races late last December when slowly away over the 1000m but coming on too strongly to win that fresh in the last 150m. Went to rosehill after that but was given no favours there, being crowded until the last 100m and still motoring into third. The talent and fitness are there and he draws for a softer run than he’s been given and I think he goes super close here.
VALUE BET - #8 - Forbidden City (ROUGHIE OF THE DAY)
Forbidden City put together a few smart wins before racing at Flemington a few weeks back when she just was a bit ordinary despite Nolen giving her an awesome ride, still coming third to the in form Belle Et Riche. She drops back in trip here and is a proven winner at Randwick Racecourse so I think that at the price I will have to have something on
