GOING: G(3)

BILOELA BOBCATS RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 3     Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace evident with Soften It Up and Saddles leading the way from Native Bee and Lonergy. MOMENT OF TRUTH (6) got the maiden out of the way in impressive fashion last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Strips fitter third-up from the spell and can go right on with the job now. NATIVE BEE (3) has a handy record here on his home surface with three wins and six placings from 14 outings. Winning rider Satherley sticks in the irons and should be going very close again. LONERGY (1) has placed two of two over this course and distance and gets some weight relief with the claim. In the mix. SOFTEN IT UP (7) should push forward to race on speed and can give backers a sight. SADDLES (4) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moment Of Truth to go back-to-back.
