GOING: G

Bowermans Furniture (Bm75) 1250m

Track: GOOD 3   Mostly Clear   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 4.6).  

Dylan's Dynasty should lead. Good speed drawn right across the line here for the last. ALL FROM SCRAP resumes from a 2 month freshen up and looks to set up well for this. Had been close up in all three runs back in the recent preparation including a strong provincial qualifier race. Looks suited fresh and back in trip when he does his best racing. Likely to settle midfield but has drawn well and a positive jockey booking make him hard to beat here. DYLAN'S DYNASTY has been in consistent form of late and can be competitive again here. A senior rider links aboard here which is a positive because he can be a bit of a handful. Can race handy or even lead these and be very hard to catch. TENORINO doesn't win out of turn but last start indicated he was working up to another win here. Will need luck from the draw but expect a bold showing from him today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Rockafella.
