Wangaratta Race 4 - Tim Mccurdy Mp Member For Ovens Valley Mdn Plate
LINKENHOLT (4) is lining up for his third career start having improved nicely out to this trip at Pakenham on heavy ground, getting home strongly for a narrow placing. He's got plenty of upside and finds an ideal race. Rates highly. THUNDERBOLT WAY (7) has finished runner up in 3/4 starts this time in, beating home LINKENHOLT at Pakenham. That horse might have a bit more upside but THUNDERBOLT WAY will be up on speed and very hard to run down. REEL RAIDER (11) is coming along quite well, getting into a narrow fourth at Geelong over 1700m. Up in trip again suits now and she should be hard to run down. STORMING CAMELOT (6) should be ready to step up in distance being by Russian Camelot off a solid run at Seymour last time out, each way. TRICKEMEZI (8) next best if the tempo is on.
