GOING: G(4)

LAZY RIVER ESTATE CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 40)   Rail: +3m 1000m-400m, True Remainder.  

Strong tempo assured with Zambezi River, The Hoff and Box Of Crackers rolling to the front. STATE OF GRACE (4) accounted for a maiden field over 1100m at Narromine last start in good style. Capable of making it two on the trot with the claim. GAMOLINA (7) went to the paddock after scoring at her last appearance 11 weeks ago over 1200m at Mungery. Confidence is high and capable of playing a major role. SILVER CHAIR (3) got a long way back from the wide gate when a poor eleventh over 1200m at Narromine last start. Maps well today and proven at this track. KEVIN (2) scored two back at Wellington but was below his best last time when eighth over 1200m at this track. Well placed to make amends with the tongue-tie going on. SUGGESTED PLAY: State Of Grace looks hard to stop again.
