RACE FOR SPUD (2) racing well without winning, placing at her last four runs. Last time finished 2nd over 262m at this track beaten a head (15.83) behind Rheas Choice in a D3 on December 15. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Makes plenty of appeal. RHEAS CHOICE (3) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by a head (15.81) at this track. Rates a leading chance again. CHADWELL JET (1) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (16.01) but did record best time of the card when winning three back. A forward showing wouldn’t surprise. SWIFT IDA (4) must be respected at her pet distance.
