GOING: G(4)

TOYOTA FORKLIFTS CLASS 3 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Solid pace with Cruizingdafield leading the charge. CRUIZINGDAFIELD (2) makes his long-awaited return (653 days) and stable debut for Scott Collings. The extensive break is an obvious concern but her two trials in suggest a forward showing. Drawn to advantage and should take some reeling in. BEST INTENT (5) is another that returns and boasts a handy record first-up, scoring dominantly when resuming at Canberra last campaign. Has a wide alley to overcome but the booking of Schiller reads favourably. Main danger. PRINCESS HALO (12) drove hard to get the verdict last start at Albury. Rates highly on best figures and stays at a preferred trip. Should be in this for a long way. SWIFT ENUFF (14) dug deep to score when resuming last start on the Riverside track. Drawn well and is one to throw in at each-way odds. SUGGESTED PLAY:Backing Cruizingdafield to win.
