GOING: G

Iga Liquor Father's Day (Bm64) 1300m

Track: ALLWEATHER   Rain Early    

Beau Garcon can lead them up with Clockwork Orange like to be right there from her good draw. Beau Garcon appears the likely leader, Big Buddie may go forward with him from out wide, and Mamzelle Tess and Oscar Dee are others who can be up there. Tricky race. WALLED CITY gets back but has a big finish on him and showed that with an impressive win here last time out. Expect him to be hitting the line strongly again. CLOCKWORK ORANGE is a promising filly coming off a first-up maiden win and while up in class she has plenty of upside and is a logical threat. UNREALISTIC didn't do a lot wrong last prep and resumes as a gelding. Wouldn't be leaving him out of the chances. Mamzelle Tess is better than her last run suggests and Hetuka Zarsho is worth including if he gains a start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taking the 12, 15 quinella.
