2 Rakaturbo <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

A maiden win continues to elude\u00a0<\/span>Rakaturbo<\/span>\u00a0(2<\/span>)<\/span>\u00a0but the placings just keep on piling up. Will get one soon enough and to be far,\u00a0<\/span>won\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0get many better chances than this. Good draw, against a small field with no real standouts in the rivals. Surely today is the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

A step back in grade today for Step It Up\u00a0<\/span>A<\/span>\u00a0Notch (7) and the Carter Dalgety factor at play a little with the $1.45 quote. Should be able to monster this field though, will roll forward and look to keep them honest and\u00a0<\/span>shouldn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0have too many issues from there.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

A Phil Williamson trained debutant in a maiden trot is usually all you need to see to get interested in one and with some tidy enough trial and workout form on the books, Yukon Gold (7) looks set to be very hard to beat here. Some nice types around though, so will need to do everything right to make it happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
