GOING: G(4)

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +4 metres Entire Course.. (Pent: 5.70)  

Holler Dash to find the front in the small field. TURBO TORQUE (2) has placed three of four around this circuit and gets some weight off with the 3kg claim. Rates a genuine top-three contender against this line-up. The well-related HOLLER DASH (8) (half to Listed winner and G3 placed I Am The Boss) put in a career-best performance last time out and looks to be improving with racing. Could present some value at odds. ALWAYS DELIVERS (1) has been thereabouts in both starts to date and may earn some minor money. CASH PIT (6) gets in well at the weights with the claim and can make his presence felt with any luck in running. WATCHFUL WILDERNESS (3) next best with Wiggins in the stirrups. SUGGESTED PLAY: Turbo Torque to break through.
