The speedy trio Grazinginthegrass, Cherry Ano and Bush Tracker can set the pace from the outset. GRAZINGINTHEGRASS (1) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by a nose as favourite last time out over 1900m at Fairview All Weather. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
CHERRY ANO (2) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Finds another suitable race and can play a major role again. GLOBAL ALLY (5) has notched up two wins from three starts at Fairview, rates well an each-way chance. BUSH TRACKER (3) placed third last start at this track and expected to go forward here to race up on the speed. Worth considering.
