GOING: F

TAB VENUE MODE PACE 1720m

Track: FAST      

ROCKSIE ROCK (8) draws on the second line but has been racing well at this circuit and distance, racing parked but proving too strong two back before a 1m third in this grade last week. Strong claims if the gaps come. ZEN MASTER (7) continued his good form with a brave effort here last week, racing three wide before pushing to the front and fighting on well to go under by just a nose. Big chance to go one better. BOLERO (2) has been racing in higher-graded events than this since since posting a win at this venue earlier in the campaign and draws to advantage. BETTINE (1) has been solid from back row draws of late and should get her chance from the ace draw.
