GOING: G

Grampians Gate Caravan Pk Mdn 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.27).  

Solid pace as Rebel With A Cause and Crystal Mill lead the way. REBEL WITH A CAUSE will go close in a very weak race. On speed on debut when runner up and same again latest when straight to a mile and ran fifth. Back in journey here and will take catching. GARTMORN was wide throughout fresh when the blinkers were on for the first time. Fitter and can improve sharply here. IT'S QUANTUM BABY was sound on debut over 1100m and can do much better this longer journey. AMADORA next best in a moderate race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rebel With A Cause will take catching.
