GOING: G(4)

TAB HIGHWAY HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 5.27)  

Strong tempo with Bide Your Time, Spirits Burn Deep and Kayz Time leading the way. EXIT FEE (11) promising gelding who loomed strongly from the wide draw before being nailed late in this grade over 1200m at Randwick. At his top now and this looks an easier assignment. WAL'S ANGELS (6) improving gelding with his hoof on the till fourth-up. Tried hard with the 60.5kg when a narrow fifth over 1400m at the Sapphire Coast. Recent efforts in town were solid and has genuine top-three prospects. KREON (2) three runs back have been okay and racing like the extra trip will suit. Held up in the straight with the 59kg and should have finished closer when seventh in this class at Randwick over 1200m. Collett sticks and look for him late. WITHSTAND (14) starting to hit his straps on the country and provincial circuits. Drops 4kg on the limit weight and not without each way claims in this stronger contest. BIDE YOUR TIME (7) returns from a let-up and undefeated in two runs. Both his Wagga wins have rated well and since kept up to the mark with an 800m trial at Goulburn. Respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exit Fee finds his race.
