Featured track

Race number

5

 

Race overview

A deep and competitive OC 25k/N1X for fm3up at 5Fs on the turf.

 

Pace

It’s a turf sprint, so it should be honest up front, as there are a trio (#5, #6, and #8) who want to be involved early.

Trends

Turf sprints are won on the lead, or by stalkers with the ability to lay close, as these rarely fall apart in the lane for the closers.

Best Play

#5 SHADES OF JADE (7-5): Sharp BAQ MSW winner comes in with a world of upside for Antonacci, who has been live all meet, lues Irad, and has the speed to be on or just off the early lead.

Bet Types  

Aggressive win, and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well.
