RACE 1 - 1:30PM Thomas Farms Maiden Plate (1600 METRES)
RARAMURI has been placed at three of his four starts the latest at Mildura when beaten 1.06 lengths behind Alexander Thegreat, the best part of his race was the last 100m and the jump from 1409m to 1600m looks ideal. He draws out but should give this a shake. TYGA TASTES was beaten 3.13 lengths in a strong form race behind Broadbeach Miss over 1250m on the Parks, he draws a good barrier and is another who will appreciate getting up in trip. ON THE MAP was beaten 4.08 lengths in 6th behind Bellezze on the Parks when caught three-wide through, that form looks good for this. SUIT OF WANDS made good ground from well back when beaten 1.95 lengths behind Articulating at Morphettville last time. He draws the middle. CALVISIO was $3.90-$7 when beaten 3.44 lengths behind Zeb’s Glass at Naracoorte last time. She can improve.
