GOING: G

Terang Co-Op (Bm64) 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.38).  

Purrfect Trick and Life Of Waldo will be prominent early. Little pace on where Just Before Dark will boot up from a good gate. CRIMSON AND CLOVER won well two back then was solid in tougher grade last time. Much easier here and can bounce back. SASSOON has placed three of last four. Has been winding up strongly and looks hard to hold out here. LIFE OF WALDO is close to a win and looks a leading player on last when racing on the speed and finishing runner up. ELITE TIGER is capable this class and with the claim is right in this on best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks suitable for Life Of Waldo and backing to win.
