Moree   28 Oct 2016
 
GOING: G(3)

Victoria Hotel Moree (Bm65) 1300m

Track: GOOD 3   Thundershowers Early   Rail: True.  

Columkille kicks up on the rail with Sambora pushing forward out wider. BAM'S PRINCESS has been running in tougher events in Queensland of late so should find this race to her liking. Has been in or close to the placings at her last few and gets the right run from gate three. You may not want to be giving away too much ground here. BAM'S PRINCESS can sit right behind them if they want. She has been running similar standard races. Like that she is up in ground. I'M NOT SURE was much improved last start. He could have finished even closer. He is just a good track horse. COLUMKILLE goes best when able to find the lead. He would prefer a wet surface but he did return in good fashion. REAL BLONDE has a nice drop in weight today. She goes best for today's jockey. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Bam's Princess off good Queensland form.
