2024 COUNTRY ACHIEVER SHANE FLIEDNER
Results
WHO DARES (2) is in flying form and should prove hard to stop again. He's won his past two, including the Listed Straight Six here last start. Small query coming back to 1100m but he has been kept fresh for this and rates highly. EXTREMELY LUCKY (3) was good last start at Caulfield, running on strongly as usual. He's never seen the straight, but his turn of foot could suit it very well. ASHFORD STREET (1) has been good in two runs for the new stable, winning first up before a solid second last time. Should be in the mix again. VELOCE CARRO (9) has won his past two, both down the straight. Stays on the minimum and should go close. SENEGALIA (5) can improve.
