GOING: G

Hyland Race Colours (Bm74) 1900m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 4.75).  

Chief Kidder and White Boots the likely leaders. White Boots and Dalmatia Prince will ensure this a truly run middle-distance test. FANTASTIC MAN was always in the leading division last start when a close 3rd over this course and distance at his third run back. Ready to peak now and gets the advantage of the inside alley. WHITE BOOTS made it 4/6 career starts when he took over before straightening then held on grimly to score over 1800m at Hawkesbury last time out. Will continue to improve so stick with this classy gelding from the Kim Waugh stable. BOOMTOWN RAT is 32 days between runs but coming back from Saturday grade so has to be respected. SHADAL next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Fantastic Man.
