GOING: N

BRIDGE BAR OPEN FOR ORIGIN MS PACE 2130m

Track: GOOD      

MANHATTAN MOON (1) finished sixth last start over 2130m at this track, beaten 8 metres, after a modest sixth at this track the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Needs to be at his best to beat this field, but he is up to the challenge. SWAGGER MAN (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in fifth over 2130m at this track. Big chance based on recent form. POCKET THE CHANGE (10) disappointed last time when seventh over 2130m at this track. Can bounce back. VELOCIPEDE (3) disappointed last time when seventh over 2190m at Northam. Can do a lot better, so worth considering.
