MERCHANT NAVY AT KOORINGAL WAGGA TOWN PLATE PRELUDE 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 4m 1400m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

Plenty of early pace with Canny Hell and Who But Roo battling for the lead but there will be pressure from a few other on-pacers. CANNY HELL (8) classy Hellbent gelding with the solid record of four wins from eight starts. Sat on the speed from a sticky gate when a tenacious 0.8 len winner over 1400m at Albury on March 22. Undefeated this trip and since kept up to the mark with a recent 900m trial win. Hard to hold out from the good draw. FREE MARKET (13) scored a well-deserved win at Moonee Valley two back, then never got into the contest when sixth over 1175m at Albury on March 21. Smart when right and should get the required tempo. THE PRODIGAL SON (11) kept safe in betting when returned for a disappointing 11th over 1200m at Caulfield on April 6. Big improver from the draw and not to be underestimated. MISS OSTEND (5) resumes from a break of four-and-a-half months. Finished fourth at her most recent appearance over 1300m at Moruya. Placed in a recent trial. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Canny Hell to win.
