GOING: N

BOOK INTO STEELO'S TONIGHT MS PACE 1730m

Track: GOOD      

FUEGO CRUZADO (1) ran eighth last start at this track over 1730m, beaten 16 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw and rates a primary contender in this comparable race. SPORTING GRACE (3) finished eighth last start, beaten 30 metres at Pinjarra over 1684m. Expecting a very good run. SWITCH BLADE (5) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Bunbury a week-and-a-half ago. Top-three conveyance. HUGHEY (12) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1730m here last time out. Can earn some minor money.
