Three Tigers can roar to Victory

AN interesting card awaits racing fans at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Sunday, perhaps easier on the eye than the Grade 1 meeting a week earlier in terms of being kinder to solve.

- ALISTAIR COHEN

Three Tigers comes into race 6 over 1200m well weighted against a field of highly regarded rivals.

His record is pleasing despite the fact that he has possibly underdelivered, being a onetime winner from six starts but the company he has kept and the weight turnarounds with those horses puts him right into the picture. His last effort came in the Sophomore Sprint at this course over 1200m and he was anything but disgraced finishing 2,45 lengths behind the seriously exciting Green Gateway. He finished a length behind All The Rage and he finds himself 1,5kg better off which should be enough to turn the form around.

Yeni

Muzi Yeni steps aboard for Michelle Rix. Rix has her yard in good spirits at the moment while Yeni continues to do good deeds around the country. Three Tigers could be upwardly mobile. If he can finish as close as he has through his career, he could have the potential to be competitive, in time, at a higher level.
