Sale Race 9

Budgie Snugglers (1-2 Wins) (275+ Rank)

Stake: $1,775

RUSSEL (3) missed the frame last time when fifth (24.98) at this track in a T3 RSTW but not beaten far the start prior. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. DR. MAVERICK (7) produced a moderate run last time when sixth at this track over 435m behind Little Thief (25.77) in a T3 RSTW. Shapes as one to consider. JADE'S HOT (6) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when second (25.32) at this track. Racing well and deserves a win. TATTLETALES (2) will be hard to beat with a drop in journey.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 435m at this track. Can't recommend against this lot.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, can't enthuse on this occasion.
