GOING: F

BREED YOUR MARE AT SUCCESS STUD PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD      

FRANCO TYSON (1) returned to winning form last start at Penrith and the last time he started from this barrier he scored a win at this circuit and distance. Strong claims. SEVE (8) is flying having won all three starts since switching from Victoria to Adam Ruggari. Crossed from a similar barrier to find the front last start before digging deep for a narrow win at this circuit, taking his record at this distance to four from five. Can add to the winning streak. QUIET STORM (7) continues to race well at this venue, placing at his last two outings to follow a back-to-back wins. Right in this. HAS THE COURAGE (6) can feature again after coming from a similar barrier to find winning form here last start. AMERICAN HAMMER (3) missed narrowly last start and draws lower. Must respect.
