Late scratching favours Helsinki

Jack Milner

Trippi T is a late scratching from Race 1  at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Wednesday after being injured in transit.

That has opened door for Helsinki to open his account in this Maiden Plate over 1000m on the Polytrack. Paul Lafferty’s charge will be having his 16^th runand will be coming down in distance.

One has to go back almost 11 months to find the last time he raced over 1000m, the rest of his races have been predominantly over 1400m and 1600m. He does have a better though and has Muzi Yeni up.

But the three-year-old gelding does look a cut above his opposition and will be hard to beat in this company.
