GOING: G

Wolf Blass Hcp 1800m Track: GOOD 4 Partly Cloudy Rail: Out 4m 1400m - WP. Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 4.43).
Would not be surprised to see Bodega Negra take up the lead. This is a race for city class horses. EXOCET has run in group company and done a nice job without winning them. The stable is flying and consider she didn't have best fortune at Doomben. Will be running on strongly. MY GIULIANO can be a bit up and down but is capable of winning metro events. He possibly needs the sting out to be at his best. GREAT GLEN wears some blinkers now. He has led Sydney races and been close up. Could be dangerous. SKYTREK will get back but hit the line. Drops in weight today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exocet for the win.
