None of these have seen a synthetic on raceday. ASK YOU MOTHER ran an excellent race first up over shorter trip to begin last preparation then ran well over 1400 and 1600. Looked comfortable on the Cranbourne synthetic when racing stablemate Happy Link who is BM70 style galloper. Not far from Zambardo in town On August 26. KING MAYWIN has a good strong rider to help him relax. Way too keen in recent starts and latest was also posted three wide without cover and narrowly went under. PRIDE OF MANDY was well backed first up and obviously forward to place over 1425m. Will be sharper again with race under belt and blinkers first time. MACCA'S ANGEL seems to have knack of finding the inferior going this preparation. Blinkers again and tongue tie applied good sign. TESTY NIC was solid first start back from a break. Slow out margin similar to end result, and wide draw not so bad as like to balance up back half CRUNCH TIME has had jumpout experience on this track placing over 1000m after sitting forward. Looked like the type who would improve over longer trip like this.
