GOING: S(7)

Farm and Garden Products Class 1 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT7   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 0.5m Entire. (Pent: 6.14).  

Should be a good battle early on with Arbat and Cumin Spinner leading the charge. CUMIN SPINNER (9) shed the maiden tag at Mackay last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Gets 1.5kg off with the claim from the favourable draw and should give backers a sight. GENERAL WOLFFE (7) has hit the frame here at his past three outings and is drawn to get a soft run from the inside marble. Capable of testing this field. REPLACE THE ACE (6) placed over this track and trip two back before narrowly going down at Mackay last start. Top-three conveyance. DESERT GRIT (12) is a bit hit or miss but can feature if he brings his A-game. The well-related STRUCK TWICE (1) (full to 2xG1 winner I'm Thunderstruck) strips fitter second-up from the break and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cumin Spinner to go back-to-back.
