Four Pillars Midway 2023 Preview
Track: Good Weather: Fine
As hard as it gets for punters with $9.00 splitting the favourites. Satness has been racing in very good fashion. Drawn for a kind run and should be in the finish. Resistible brings in some strong formlines and looks well placed in a field of this calibre. Backrower should have every chance from barrier 4 and has good claims in this finally drawing a gate. Oakfield Waratah rounds out the numbers and is well weighted but will need luck from the awkward barrier.
