GOING: G(4)

GOULBURN HAY SUPPLIES COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +7m, +9m 950m-350m; Cutaway Applies. (Pent: 4.83)  

Solid tempo with Xcessive Force to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. XCESSIVE FORCE (5) gave a great sight in front before being claimed late fresh up at Canberra 18 days ago and drops back to 1200m from 1400m, which should be ideal. She has a good gate and can take them all of the way this time. SO YOU PENCE (6) ended her initial prep as a maiden winner at Moruya and is resuming from a spell with a recent trial placing under her belt. She has been handled patiently and is good enough to win this fresh up. FRISKEE FROG (7) set up a strong clip in front here 11 days ago over 1400m and only weakened late. He drops down to a more suitable trip of 1200m and is worth including in all multiples. XCEPTIONAL FELLA (4) needed his first run back from a spell at Albury over 1000m and will improve second up. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: So You Pence each way.
