GOING: H(8)

Naracoorte Toyota Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 10)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.64)  

Only a small field with Fox Man likely to find a comfortable lead. CAVILL TYCOON (2) resumed improved at Bendigo and then missed a nose at Mildura when expected to win. In good hands and is ready to win. FOX MAN (3) disappointed heavily bet at Terang 56 days ago, but brought strong form to that. He's won a trial by 4L since and can get back on track. Rates the threat. CALM THE PRESS (10) has been kept safe on debut in the early markets and has to be respected. MISS KANIMBLA (9) the best of the rest in a pretty thin race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cavill Tycoon.
