Race Overview

THINKING OF YOU (7) is a consistent dog overall, in the frame at three of 13 starts including eight wins but missed the frame latest when fourth (20.04) over 383y at Murray Bridge Straight. Hard to go past form here at this journey. Drawn wide but with a clean break will be tough to beat again. ASTON BIDEN (1) was game in defeat with a narrow loss in last time, when a neck second behind Ouzo And Coke in 19.73 and posting a new PB this course and distance. Strong run latest and looks a key chance on that form. DEEP PURPLE (8) had been going along well winning a Invitation three back then placing at this track before missing the frame latest when fourth (20.16) at this track. Can improve sharply here. NAILED IT (2) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Thinking Of You boasts an impressive career strike rate and is undefeated at Angle Park over this distance. While her last start was a miss, her prior form including multiple wins and placings suggests she is a class animal. If she can overcome the middle draw, her raw talent and speed should see her right in the finish.
