GOING: G

Northpoint Fleurieu (Bm64) 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Mostly Clear   Rail: True (Twilight Meeting).  

Not a great deal of speed so Big Call might slide forward while Tips And Beers should try to cross. BIG CALL has been in great form and hard to go past. Odds on and a big winner latest, expected to measure up again. OUTINTHESTREET was a winner two back the fourth in tougher company latest. Looks the clear danger. HOLY JUAN rates well on best form and can do better this easier grade. IGITUR is ready to show best after two runs back while FLORID has had the three runs this time in and should be ready now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Big Call the one to beat. Outinthestreet the danger.
