GOING: G(3)

BIRDSVILLE RACES ROADIES RATINGS BAND 0 - 50 Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Hot tempo expected with Jet Stream, Turnstar and Gotta Beat heading the charge. TURNSTAR (1) is Darwin-trained and belted the 60 graders at Betoota by 5L. Enjoyed the easier company and maps well. Carries more weight but rates to go back-to-back. RUBY SURPRISE (5) has switched from a NSW yard and has been freshened. He's been racing in much stronger and was beaten 3L at Wyong last time. She's a decent chance if she takes to the surface. ELECTRIC SPIRIT (2) got close at Longreach and that stacks up. Drops back to a shorter sprint of a 3-week return and that's the niggle. JET STREAM (3) will be around the mark on a 7-day return. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Turnstar.
