GOING: S(7)

GRIFFITH CITY VOLKSWAGEN & NARRANDERA SIGNS MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo with Reds Express, Larkin and Bella Katelyn leading the way. BELLA KATELYN (5) has been thereabouts without placings in her first two starts but she strips fitter now in what's her easiest assignment to date. Bold showing anticipated. PRINCE OF LOVE (4) returned last time and finished fifth at Albury over 900m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. REDS EXPRESS (11) will find this a little easier than her last run just nine days ago when lost rider over 1000m at Wagga. Suitably placed and can run a big race. COMMANDEUR (1) lines up today for the first time for trainer Frankie Stockdale. His figures over the border read favourably for this, though the gate will test him. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. ORACLE OF OMAHA (3) resumes today following a recent trial at Albury, can figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bella Katelyn to win.
