Wagga   30 Aug 2016
 
GOING: H(8)

Harvey Norman Mdn Plate 1200m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain   Rail: Out 2m from 1400m to WP, True Remainder.  

Speed to come from Airport, Hogget, More Ransom and Chicago Magic. Speculative how the large field will settle. ROSOVER was slow off and got back but came home like a train to miss by a nose at Canberra on debut. He will have to do it from the back again but will go close with luck and with expected improvement. HOGGET debuts off a big trial win and looks to have plenty of ability. He also has a tricky gate but gets the 3kg claim and the blinkers first time. JINDABERRA draws out but has scope for further improvement off two placings. The claim assists. CARRICKS CORNER and LAWTON JOSEPH also deserve consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jindaberra straight out.

First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.
