GOING: G(3)

IGA LOCAL GROCER HANDICAP 1600m

Track: FIRM 2     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo from Rebellious Hope leading Nunniong. ALOTTA DANE (1) improved sharply down in grade at Broome. He moved into the race over a longer trip and worked away from them. This is a tougher event but he will have gained plenty of confidence from that. Is backing up as well. REBELLIOUS HOPE (5) has been around the placings for a while. She has a fair way back in those outings. Will be right up on the pace. I'M A DREAMER (3) can be a bit up and down. However he showed his ability best over this distance range. NUNNIONG (4) is still a maiden. Does look best placed over this journey. HOLLERBYEBABY (2) will have to lift a long way to be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Staying with Alotta Dane.

Most recently 3rd in a small field at Katherine 0 - 64 on August 16 over 1700m, 8 len behind The Accelator carrying 55kg at $8.50. The start before that didn't do much in the run home; 5th of 12 at Darwin 0 - 58 on August 4 over 1600m, 10 len behind Kieffer with 58kg at $17. No excuses today in this small field.
