GOING: G(4)

G.T PENNELL TRANSPORT/FINCH ENGINEERING 2&3YO SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

A strong gallop is likely with Sneaky Sofia and Blue De Beers taking up the running, closely attended by Andale and Liberty London. GETTIN' TIPSY (5) showed improvement on a handy debut when runner-up at Bathurst and while beaten favourite there it was still a nice effort. Drawn to effect and big chance to go one better. BLUE DE BEERS (4) started a solid favourite at his debut in what is usually a strong two-year-old race. Wouldn't surprise if he stepped forward from that run. Go well. RUTLEY EXCEEDS (6) is on debut for leading stable in this area and he's one to keep very safe after finishing close up in his only public trial. Any support a good pointer. SNEAKY SOFIA (1) is an interesting runner resuming as is LIBERTY LONDON (8). SUGGESTED PLAY: Gettin' Tipsy to win.
