Emmetts Warracknabeal Cup 1600m Track: GOOD 3 Clouds (Max: 30) Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.54). |

---|---|---|---|---|
Moderate tempo likely with Thunder Point leading the way. THUNDER POINT (4) won successive races at Sandown and Colac before finding the company too tough at past couple. Is far better placed in this line-up and is expected to go close. BELTHIL (1) resumed with a stylish win at Geelong. Is going to strip even fitter here and should make a bold bid. THE NEPHEW (2) wasn't that far off them when resuming at Sandown in tougher race than this. Looks nicely placed here second-up and should make a bold bid. BRAWL (6) is coming off a long break. Has trialled up nicely for return run and is expected to give a bold sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Thunder Point and Belthil to win.
