Our resident form analyst Nic Ashman is siding with a 4yo mare that will relish a firmer track at Randwick on Saturday.
Randwick Race 8 No 9 CAPTAIN AMELIA
“Best late splits of the day when resuming then copped Soft 7 and Heavy 8 conditions at her next two starts,” Ashman said.
“She much prefers dry ground and from the 1400m start point her barrier draw will pave the way for her to settle a tad closer without exerting.
“Stable/jockey strike rate is 25% and if she gets clear air at the top of the straight they’ll know she’s in the race.”
The top price around for CAPTAIN AMELIA as of Friday afternoon was $9.
Last Saturday Nic identified APPIN GIRL each-way at $15 and the filly ran on stoutly to finish third. Nic’s tips are striking at 57% since the beginning of last year with 26 collects from 46 selections.
