GOING: G

Njt20cricket.Com.Au (Bm64) 1200m

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

A number of on-pacers capable of leading. Not a great deal of speed here with most of the fancied runners being prominent, namely Duecourse, Elzette and River's Gift. DUECOURSE resumed with a strong win after a long break. Will strip much fitter and although jumps a grade looks hard to beat again. ELZETTE placed at first two from a spell before running in town in Adelaide. Much easier here and looks well placed. RIVER'S GIFT placed fresh then was a little disappointing latest. Better than that and worth another chance. BLACK MOSHEEN was an impressive fresh up winner and with the claim can go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Expecting Duecourse to take the next step.

Useful gelding. Last outing raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 runners at Kilmore (Bm64) Jan 8 over 1207m, slow track; 2-1/4 len behind Haski carrying 60kg. Run before sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last at Seymour (Bm70) Dec 21 over 1200m, 8-3/4 len behind Divine Dice carrying 57.5kg. Racing well. Has strong claims.
