GOING: H

Avondale Racing 4 June (Bm65) 1200m

Track: HEAVY11   Showers Wind   Rail: Out 6m | 5.5mm Rain Last 24 Hours.  

Socially Excited and St Regis look the most likely to push forward and lead. The pace looks decent in this and makes for a proper contest. CALL ME BOB will find this easier than when last seen out and gets a senior rider atop. Obvious chance and can swim if need be. SOCIALLY EXCITED is an inferior depth field today to that he met resuming and drops half a kilo so well in. Can swim and has pace plus never out of the money clockwise. REPO BAY down in grade is a trifecta and first four chance. Aligns With Me can swim so include with conditions to suit. Attire is a class dropper and has a good record here. Fourth in a trial recently. Air Centre has speed and is yet to be out of the money here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Call Me Bob for the win.
