GOING: H

Cafe Borella's Mdn Plate 1300m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 3m 1200m - 250m. True Remainder. (Pent: 6.35).  

Solid tempo expected, headed by Aunt Bridge. STAR BUYER (3) is a former John O'Shea-trained galloper having first run for new stable. Did show promise in handy maiden company previously and should make his presence felt. AUNT BRIDGE (5) has gone close her past two and seems to handle the heavy going. She looks the main danger. GRAND SASSY (7) wasn't far behind a smart one last start at Gundagai and a repeat effort would see her in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Star Buyer to win.
