GOING: H(10)

JOIN TAB RACING CLUB 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10     True position  

Good early pressure anticipated with a large contingent of unraced runners. GRACETHEACE (4) ran a good race at last start for second. Best draw of career so far today and can go one better here. MONEYPENNY (5) resumes in this and is drawn wide. Trial second earlier this month. One of her two placings came here. She is a trifecta and first four must. OCEAN RULES (11) ran well on debut. She had trialled well twice prior. Juvenile and drawn out but still a chance. PENTAGON (2) was well backed at debut and ran a fair fourth. She was a dual trial winner prior including once here. Not out of this wide draw and all. ORATIA BEAUTY (12) is a filly by Too Darn Hot on debut. Twice trialled and was runner up in the latest one. Drawn out but not the worst. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moneypenny is a win wager here fresh up.
