GOING: H(8)

PIONEER - P8086 2200m

Track: HEAVY8     Out 3m from 1100m to 320m, Remainder True  

Timba should lead and dictate terms. OVERDRAFT (1) has been runner-up in all his three starts so far, and two of them came here. Win chance in this on wet ground and it is actually hard to see him getting beaten. CRY BABY (7) was a better effort at her last start. She is not the worst here to place or be first four in a very weak field. SHOCKIFF (6) had run some fair races in a row prior to her last start. She can handle it dry and wet. Not out of this at all. TIMBA (2) has been three-times placed. Wet tracker. Place and first four possibility at absolute best. CANULOVEMEAGAIN (5) has been twice placed so far and both came clockwise. One placing was second up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Overdraft is a win wager.
