Saturday at Ellerslie
Race 4: Platinum Attack
2.53pm
“He had 10 days out in the paddock after the BCD Sprint and has freshened up nicely. He is certainly well in himself. We have finally secured a decent draw of four on Saturday so hopefully Ben Thompson can get into the one-one from it. There looks to be good speed in the race with Alabama Lass, who will likely lead, so landing not too far off her will be essential to give ourselves a winning chance. I didn’t think this was the strongest of sprint fields compared to what he has been racing against and being competitive in so, providing he gets the right run, there’s no reason he cannot be right in it.”
