GOING: H(10)

Easters Sand Soil & Gravel Mdn 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 3m 1700m to 300m cutaway. True Remainder.  

Call Me Brad looks the likely leader. World Class has the speed to settle up handy. A tactical affair even for a sprint. VALBEATA only missed by a nose last start. She came from off midfield. Getting better with every start, she just needs to get through the going. This would be the minimum distance she wants. LITTLE MISS TEE handled the wet first up. A smaller field won't hurt her chances today. Can lift for this. CALL ME BRAD could well be the leader again. His last couple of results doing just that have been sound. WORLD CLASS has had a month's freshen up and a drop in trip. Greg Ryan takes over but wants the track to firm up a bit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Valbeata.
