A $10,000 TAB jackpot has been added to the First 4 pool for the Allied Express Pace, and connections have had a say on the chances of their horses ahead of the 1720m event.
1.Crime Writer ($18)
Trainer: Matthew Craven / Driver: Matthew Craven
Craven says: “We have drawn ideally and hopefully we can hold up on the back of Jillibyjacksparrow.”
2.Heavenly Charm ($41)
Trainer: Chris Svanosio/ Driver: Chris Svanosio
Svanosio says: “It will be pretty tough for her, she will need to have a quiet trip and hopefully she can finish off good.”
3.Jillibyjacksparrow ($2.80)
Trainer: Paddy Lee / Driver: Lochie Cook
Lee says: “We have to take advantage of his barrier draw and launch.”
4.Fiamma ($3.90)
Trainer: Clayton Tonkin / Driver: Mark Pitt
Pitt says: “There is a bit of speed inside him, but he does get off the gate good – so we will hope to find a spot within the first 50 meters.”
5. Captain Hammerhead ($3.50)
Trainer: David Moran / Driver: David Moran
Moran says: “It looks like he will have to do a little bit of work early. He is probably going to be caught outside the leader and we will see how good he is from there. He is going to find it a bit tough.”
6. I Cast No Shadow ($71)
Trainer: Isabel Walsh / Driver: Nathan Jack
Walsh says: “There is a lot of speed around him and we are going to drive him and hope for a bit of luck.”
7: Ultimate Vinnie ($51)
Trainer Sam Barker / Driver: Tayla French
Barker says: “I think he is back into a grade where he can win. We are probably going to push forward. I think we are good enough to sit outside them, if we don’t find a gap. I am pretty happy to sit in the breeze.”
8: Kosimo ($21)
Trainer: Julie Douglas / Driver: Jack Laugher
Laugher says: It is not the worst draw for him. If he end up three back the fence, he could be a minor place chance.
9. Dhaulagiri ($31)
Trainer: Julie Douglas/ Ellen Tormey
Tormey says: “He just needs a lot of luck from this draw.”
10. Curly James ($4.40)
Trainer: Courtney Laker / Driver: Alex Ashwood
Laker says: “He has drawn a terrible barrier over the short, he will need to make a mid-race move, but he should be in it at the end.”
