COACHMAN HOTEL PUNTERS CLUB CLASS 2 SHOWCASE PLATE 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Cruizingdafield and Pahang will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Illusive Star and Deelbreaka. CRUIZINGDAFIELD (13) lightly raced mare who looks to have a ton of upside. Won well at second start in town last time in and since resumed with a gritty on-pace fourth over 1000m at Wagga on May 3. Has the speed to get across and strips much fitter now. Hard to hold out. STURN WORDS (6) at his top now and drops sharply in weight with the 2kg claim. Drawn to stalk the speed after powering late from the wide gate when fifth over 1400m at Wagga on May 2. Blinkers go on and looks one of the main dangers. STARROS (4) has been racing well and can feature again along with fresh winner CHEAP GAS (11). SUGGESTED PLAY: Cruizingdafield to win.
