GOING: S(6)

CHARMAN EARTHMOVING HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 5m Entire. (Pent: 4.81).  

The scratchings have robbed some of the anticipated speed. WEGOTABETTERHOFFA (4) peaks and wasn't beaten far at Moruya last start. The lone win came over this distance when resuming three back at Queanbeyan. She will push forward and the 3kg claim give her a big chance in a race weakened by scratchings. FIELD AGENT (6) resumes for a local barn and can use the rail. Cahill's booking suggests he's pleasing and the betting will be key. ROSY SUE (11) resumes. Readied with a solid trial and is aided by a favourable draw. Looking for a good return. DON'T THINKABOUTIT (5) is going well and must be respected off the last-start win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Wegotabetterhoffa.
