From wide out Walk In The Woods can slide across and take up the running in a race devoid of genuine early pace. MR FERRARI (5) bolted home when clearing maiden ranks at Strathalbyn 3 starts back and after a miss he was back in form at Bordertown last time out, finishing fourth. He has a superior draw this time and will likely try for front-running tactics again. On this track, he will be hard to peg back. A TOUCH FROSTY (2) showed promise over ground at the end of his last prep and he is resuming with a couple of trials under his belt. He normally comes to hand quickly and over this trip, he has solid each-way claims. ANY LUCK (10) is trained on this track and did win on debut here at the start of the season. She made up a lot of ground at Penola last time out and will be well suited over a longer journey in this. Stick with her. HAATHER (3) came from last when scoring by a short-head at Ararat last start. He won't find this any harder and now that his confidence is back, he can win again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Ferrari to win.
