GOING: S(5)

Graham Family Funerals Class 2 Hcp 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 4.52)  

Strong tempo with I'm Keefe and Coastal Strike leading the way over Hububbajahn. NAVARRE RIVER (4) brings compelling form and was last seen 42 days ago when beaten 1L this track. Has a low draw and handy 2kg claim and will be on song for 'Cup Day'. Should have them covered. ROYAL INFANTRY (3) has skipped over from Victoria and presents off a good win over 1400m at Camperdown. That form is good enough to see him in the finish. GEEGEEHAILSTORM (9) disappointed last time but just missed here the two prior in better grade. Has a top hoop aboard and will sit forward from a low gate. HUBUBBAJAHN (10) peaks and prepared to forgive her latest effort when she led and folded up at Launceston as a $2.6 favourite. She'd come back to racing much improved and has been kept on the fresh side. She can get into the money with average luck from the cruel gate. CARNELIAN ROCK (14) maps for a soft run and is heading in the right direction. Carries just 52kg with the claim and is also the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Navarre River.
