We have just the one mid-week runner to follow this week. Spanish Fort steps out at Flamingo Park for the Hollywood Syndicate on Monday 23rd September 2019, after a fair effort over the same course and distance one week ago. He drops slightly in class and looks to have a realistic chance. See more here.
Monday 23rd September 2019
Flamingo Park
Race 8 – 16:00
1000m – MR 64 Handicap
3 – Spanish Fort
Trainer: Cliffie Miller
Jockey: Collen Storey
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 5 (10 Runners)
Current Betting: 8/1
He was a little disappointing last time, when finishing 4.75 lengths back in 6th over the course and distance. Being drawn out wide on that occasion meant that he ran on uneven going and although we expected him to finish in the first three, he did stay on nicely in the closing stages. He drops significantly in class here and lands a much improved draw (5). With plenty of scope for more improvement, the Collen Storey / Cliffie Miller team believes he has found the right race here, to land his 2nd career victory. With that said, we give him a good each-way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Should have finished much closer last time. Can cause an upset here.
