A small but even field of 2yos line up for The Niner Marc Special this week at Victoria. With valuable stakes points on offer, it is certain to be a keenly fought contest as the babies work towards bigger riches later in the year. <\/p>\n
Turf form is solid across 4 of the 5 runers with the only query being PERFECT HIGH(IRE) who has 1 win from 2 dirt starts but with Irish blood, he’s uncertainty on the surface represents some value at 5\/1. Pre-post favourite ROB’S SECOND 9\/5 was a solid winner in a maiden last start on a soft track but only the game will take those odds with a less than competant Jock on board. The nicely bred CRIMSON WARRIOR 5\/2 is making steady progress and will be much better suited to the 1300m. He’ll be hitting the line harder than any other runner. OJAI TOOT 3\/1 is the likely leader in the race and with a slow tempo up front, has the ability to pinch this one. Rounding out the field is GREEN FEILDS IVOR who has experience and form on his side here and at 7\/2 represents the best value in the race. With 2 wins to date and 2 minors, this handsome son of Green Desert has all the hallmarks of a fine galloper. <\/p>\n
My picks are GREEN FIELDS IVOR to win from the fast finishing CRIMSON WARRIOR and OJAI TOOT to hang on for 3rd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
