RACE 2 

CONNIES SPIRIT (2) has brilliant gate speed and looks ideally suited to the Trot Rods format. She might be able to zip across in the early stages and if she can lead them up she is likely to be very hard to run down given how well she has been racing.

MULLUM BOY (1) elected to hand over the lead last start and ran a good third behind Captain Oh Captain. He steps back to the Trot Rod distance this time and may elect to hold the lead if he can. He looks one of the hardest to beat.

MAJOR LINCOLN (4) given his lack of gate speed he doesn’t immediately seem ideally suited to this format of racing. In saying that he does look particularly well graded in this race and if he can work into it and find a position up on speed he could run well.

MADAME WEST (5) drops right back in grade into this race having seemingly not been at her absolute best in recent times. She is a capable sit sprinter and if they go too hard she can be running on late. 

SELECTIONS: CONNIES SPIRIT (2), MULLUM BOY (1), MAJOR LINCOLN (4), MADAME WEST (5)

SUGGESTED BET: CONNIES SPIRIT (2) to win.
