GOING: G(4)

NBN TELEVISION CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1625m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Despite the small field Cha Cha Cha, Call Me Magnifique and Oceanfront can set a strong tempo. THE CRISTAL (6) bounced off her good first up second, with a dominant on pace maiden victory over 1500m at Goulburn. Well weighted with Fitzgerald's claim and expected to keep the winning momentum going. CALL ME MAGNIFIQUE (5) back for his second campaign when a plugging fifth over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Looking for the extra trip and firmer race surface. Each way. OCEANFRONT (3) well bred gelding who comes here in peak condition. Speared across from the wide gate when a tenacious fourth over 1600m at Newcastle. Will roll forward and expected to go close. CHA CHA CHA (7) is proven at this track and trip and can run into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Cristal can finish over the top of them.
