GOING: G(4)

Harpers Parcel Freight Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True.  

Strong gallop early. CANIDAE (1) caught plenty of eyes last start when flashing home to just miss in a blanket finish at Strathalbyn. Shoulders a terrific record at this track and is expected to take plenty of stopping. FAMOUS KNIGHT (5) finds it tough to notch up his second win but continues to finish thereabouts. Rates highly on best efforts and only has to hold his form to be competitive. JUSTA JILLAROO (7) is more than capable on her day and shoulders a terrific record at this venue. Gets her chance to break a long run of outs. NISKO TU (3) is mixing his form but will appreciate stepping back out to a winning trip. Worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Canidae to win.
