GOING: G(3)

Territory Rural McPherson-Bm54 1400m

Track: GOOD   Thunderstorms Early   Rail: True.  

Grande Castagno and Tutu Canny can push forward early. KENTUCKY FIREBALL is racing well winning two of his past three starts at this course. The concern is that he has never placed in four attempts at this trip but was only beaten 2.1L at his last attempt and is clearly going well. KENTUCKY FIREBALL worked to the lead in stronger grade and spaced them in stronger grade the latest. Draws out again but looks well-placed to win again. GAMORA can use the rail and was okay placing 3U as favourite. Gets the 3kg claim and this is a touch easier. RANDI draws well and has minor claims off the last start placing. TUTU CANNY ditto. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Kentucky Fireball to continue his good form.
