GOING: G

GAVIN GROVES PLUMBING Class 3 Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Salt Lake Betty and Inquisitive Legend possess good early speed. Several win chances. OUTBACK BANDIT (3) has had two runs for the new yard, placing at each. Boasts a strong third-up record winning 2/3 starts and expected to go close. ALL TOO LUCKY (6) has been racing well following a win two back with a close-up fourth. Won only try course and distance and is a key runner who should be in the finish. TAPA KICK (4) is a former NSW galloper who has been racing in town in Sydney in Highways. First run for the new yard and off a let-up. Best figures measure right up so have to keep very safe despite the sharper journey. MANIC LIGHT (2) has a tricky gate but racing well and should be right in the finish. INQUISITIVE LEGEND (7) is a last start winner and is well-placed again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Outback Bandit.
