GOING: G

Ladbrokes Red Centre Winter Series (Heat 4) (Div 1) 1100m

Track: AW   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Game Cove to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. QUANAPIRRI BAY (1) is a consistent gelding who has only ever raced on this track. He looks set for another profitable campaign after winning here second up from a spell 2 weeks ago by a length. He is down in grade and only has to cope with a 5kg weight rise to be a winning threat again. ARROGANT MISS (4) is a durable veteran mare who has been racing her way into form. She may not have won for some time, but she is more than capable of another top 3 finish in this field. DR VENKMAN (2) did not race up to expectations in a tougher field here 2 weeks ago, after winning at Tennant Creek before that. A 3kg claim will offset her weight rise, and she can bounce back into the money immediately. GAME COVE (7) has yet to hit his straps since shifting here in April. She has enough early speed to lead this field and is worth including in all combinations to be safe. MUSELET (5) has just battled in 2 starts since winning at Tennant Creek in May, but does have the pole position this time. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY:Quanapirri Bay to win.
