GOING: G(3)

Deppro (Bm75) 2200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: 0.5m Entire Course. (Pent: 4.84).  

So Hot should be among those positive early. Annaman and War Baby can take up handy spots. Not a great deal of speed in this and Annaman could be the one to take it up. WAR BABY produced a good effort when runner up over this trip at Eagle Farm last start and rates well on what she has produced of late. Gets in well with the 3kg claim for apprentice jockey and would expect her to not be far away in the run again from barrier 4. Ticks plenty of boxes and can get the job done. ANNAMAN has been very consistent in recent times and comes into this off three third placings. Proven at the trip and should be right in the finish again. There is a lot to like about the recent form of EMERALD CITY and he also looks well placed with the apprentice claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing War Baby.
