GOING: S(5)

BRIAN HILTON WYONG CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Miss Dee Reign is the probable leader in the small field. SAVOONGA (4) bounced off her good first-up second with a commanding victory over 1350m here. Has further upside and gets every chance again from the good draw. MY COUNTRY BOY (2) shouldered the 59kg third up for a gritty Maiden win over 1630m at this course. Has the ability to overcome the wide gate and play a leading role. SMICHOV (3) jumped sharply in trip with a solid on-pace second over 1800m at Bathurst. Comes here deep into the prep and deserves another chance in this company. NORTHERN EAGLE (7) closed off well last start and appears the next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Savoonga in a competitive contest.
