GOING: G(3)

Xmas Races Thurs 22nd Dec-Bm70 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Showers   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.14).  

Ballinaclash goes forward and crosses Olivia's Gold and Izenashark. Small field but expecting a strong tempo. Ballinaclash should lead them with Olivia's Gold up on the pace. Izenashark could be handy though back in distance. UNCANNY EFFORT is a consistent type fitter for two recent trials and tends to go well fresh. Better at 1400m but looks the one to beat. BALLINACLASH is more than capable of giving them plenty to catch and he battled on well at Pakenham last start. Gets in well with the claim and should feature. STRIDE OUT is racing in good form this time in and ran on well in a stronger race at Ballarat. Can't be left out. Pure Addiction trialled nicely recently and can run well while Olivia's Gold is the other chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Uncanny Effort each way.
