GOING: N

RACING CONNECT PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 12)    

HEY FRANCO (4) was a nose away in second at Launceston over 1680m last start at his first run back from a spell. Won't find this any harder and he can take it to the next level. HIGH BELIEVER (5) resumes from a spell of ten weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1609m at this track. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. QUEEN ANASTASIA (1) produced a good effort on debut last start, finishing runner-up over 1680m at Launceston. Has plenty of scope for improvement. STAYZBETTER (3) is a two-year-old filly by Stay Hungry from Betterbsweet on debut. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters.
