Runner Comments
1 Blue Boon Let-up for 12 weeks and drawn the rails. In with a chance.
2 Special Moment Finished two lengths off the winner last start at Lone Star when fresh. Looks the leader and placed at Sam Houston Race Park in only second-up attempt. Place chance.
3 Mint Returns from nine week let-up. Has a lot of early speed and rates highly with Freddy Manrrique back on board. Beautifully placed.
4 Varnished Let-up. Has a lot of early speed and has two placings from seven runs this prep. Forward showing no surprise.
6 Muffin Nuts Ran nan back from the winner at only start at Lone Star. Cannot entertain.
7 Optimus Kat Returns from eight week let-up and first start for a new trainer. Winner at Fair Grounds and placed four times this prep. Chance.
8 Hard Love Let-up for 11 weeks and 5kg claim should help. Can get the job done.
9 Easter Snap Returns from six week let-up and unplaced in career. Looks the leader but still looks tested.
10 Go Speed Racer Go Finished eighth last start at Lone Star. Capable of racing on speed but just the one placing this campaign at the track. Outsider.
11 Color Fast Let-up. Has a lot of early speed. Commands serious thought.

Compare runner speed with Sectional times

Sectional times are exclusive to Punters+ members.

Sectional times allow you to compare each horse’s early, mid and late speed throughout a race to help you assess how the race may play out.

Review speeds in specific conditions

Punters sectional times allow you to filter previous runs according to distance, track condition, track and number of runs so that you can try and get the most accurate time prediction possible.
