Playoffs has been a model of consistency this prep and strikes another winnable one at The Valley this evening.
He needed the run when eighth of thirteen in a BM64 contest at Geelong when resuming but has missed placing in four subsequent starts, finishing a length second in BM70 company at Flemington last time out.
Now that he’s in peak condition, getting out to 2500m looks to be the ideal next step in his preparation.
Elderflower will take winning form into the third at The Valley tonight and looks beautifully placed to make it two in a row.
The Lindsay Smith-trained mare has improved with each of her three starts back from a spell, culminating in an easy win at Caulfield last time out, to the tune of nearly three lengths.
She looks to be at peak fitness for this race and while other have also won well recently, hers looks to be easily the superior formline.
Amoretti has found top gear and can record another win at Canterbury tonight.
The Gary Portelli-trained gelding tuned up with a few competitive efforts earlier this prep and broke back into the winner’s stall via a dominant performance at Wyong two back.
He followed that up with another smart win in BM72 company here on New Year’s Day and he looks a touch of overs at his current price ($4.80 at publish).
Races like this one are more than within the capabilities of Foxborough and she can return to winning form.
A Group 1 placegetter, Foxborough has returned to the races in typically competitive form this time and recorded a lovely win in BM72 company at Warwick Farm two starts back.
She was last seen finishing sixth, just over three lengths behind Zing in a tougher race at Randwick and will appreciate this drop in class.
