Lane Ford Mdn 1413m Track: GOOD 4 Clear Rail: Out 5m. |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Speed anticipated from both Barritus and Soul Express. Groovershaker may take the opportunity to lead from the rail. GROOVERSHAKER was a bit erratic resuming at Ascot off the two placings and won a trial in preparation for this. Gets a few gear tweaks and will be winning if he’s sorted. BURNING MAGIC draws handy and is ready to win off the two placings. FIRST BLACK is also an improver and forgive the 2U run. Gets the low gate and Pike first time and that’s a strong pointer. ORBIT THE SUN has more to offer 3U.
SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Groovershaker back in this grade.
