GOING: S(5)

ROBERSTONS MOTORCYCLES | KUBOTA AUSTRALIA COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +2m 900m-400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.90)  

The Git Up and Pressnell will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. PRESSNELL (3) was beaten as a short priced favourite at both starts last time in but looked to have come bacjk well with a trial win recently. Can fire fresh. I DON'T THINK SO (8) has had a long layoff but showed some fitness winning a recent trial. Any market moves will be significant. GETTIN' TIPSY (7) comes through the same trial as Pressnell where she ran third. Drawn well and is worth a look. SAINT PHILOMENA (9) is consistent and worth some thought while WANAVAN (5) has a show. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pressnell to win.
