GOING: G

Terry (Ducks) Ross Mem. (Bm54) 1300m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

No obvious leader in a race that lacks much early pressure on paper. AFTERNOON TEA (5) wasn't far away when resuming from a break, finishing a half a length second over 1100m at Fannie Bay. Switches to a dirt track for the first time today. Will take a lot from that latest effort and she will be tough to beat. BOY BIG (1) scored over this journey two back then failed at the longer trip last time when ninth at Fannie Bay. Expected to bounce back. MALIBU EDITION (3) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a eighth at Fannie Bay over 1300m. Top-three chance on best figures. NO STRINGS (6) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when ninth over 1300m at Fannie Bay. Will strip fitter and can do much better this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Afternoon Tea to win.
