GOING: G

Territory Water Solutions Class 2 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Uncle Barry, Bon's A Lad and Buades will set a good tempo despite the small field. UNCLE BARRY (2) had his first run for a new yard and got a long way back at Alice Springs before making some late ground. This is easier and better suited to this longer trip. Can improve sharply. BON'S A LAD (4) wasn't far away last time when fifth at Alice Springs and meets the third-placed Pub Crawl a couple of kilos better. Can turn the tables. PUB CRAWL (3) placed third and will find this easier. Doesn't win out of turn but a repeat of the latest would go close. MACHINE MAN (1) resumes and makes debut for a new yard. Has good form for this with the Bobbin yard and no surprise to see a big run. HELLO MARY (6) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Uncle Barry can atone.
