GOING: H(10)

Allsopp Signs Mdn Hcp 1000m

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

Hey I'm Ready can roll forward and expect to see Sathern pushing up from the inside draw. Only three of these have ever found the placings. CATNAP has raced in harder than this without getting much result for effort. However his two placings have come on wet tracks. Backing up today looks a positive. SATHERN had been jumping from poor barriers last time in. He comes up with gate one on resumption. That might make the difference. CUTHBERT GOLD didn't do much in harder maidens in Victoria. She has since moved but is bred to like the softer tracks. PRICKLES trialled well enough last week to be a factor. Early speed will be important here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sathern to use the inside draw to full effect.
