GOING: S

Events By Atc (Bm70) 1000m

Track: SOFT 6     Rail: Out 5m Entire Course. (Pent: 5.04).  

They will scoot along with Royal Witness the likely leader with the 3kg claimer aboard. MOSSMAN GORGE is fast and FU was too good for them at this venue in stronger grade. Draws low again and the Matt Dale galloper looks well-placed to make it a double getting all of Billy Owen’s 3kg claim. CRISTOBAL resumes for Godolphin with JMac booked. Missed a whisker two back in a better race and has had two trial warmers. Rates highly and expect her to be ready to go. I'M SO SWEET resumes off Listed races for Team Hawkes and owns a good trial. Avdulla sticks from that and from the advantageous draw a bold run is on the cards. CHEWBACCA resumes and gets Bowman. Is up to this and flies fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mossman Gorge has more to offer.
