GOING: G

SOILCO CORKHILL BROS PLATE 1750m

Track: SYNTHETIC   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: True.  

O Cara Mia to take up the running with Turn Left and Miss Steffi close at hand. HIGHWAY ROBBERY (10) was a big drifter in betting, though he was very strong late in the race to be 1.5L off the winner at the finish with the jockey suggesting he didn't enjoy the kickback. A better draw and a rise in trip suit and with improvement on the cards, he can notch up a maiden win. TIMELESS GRACE (7) is hard to knock on recent form, racing well without winning. She disappointed here last time out, but comes back to 1750m this time which may suit. Can sit much closer this time and can get the job done. SUNBURNT COUNTRY (1) went around the outside and scored an impressive win here over 1900m. Will need a touch more luck from the inside barrier this time, but his latest win makes him hard to ignore. O CARA MIA (2) comes back to a firmer deck this time third-up into the campaign. Can improve now. TURN LEFT (3) is another who can improve after only a fair effort here last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Highway Robbery can score a maiden win.

The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 10 at Wodonga Mdn-Sw on May 16 over 1590m, 6 len behind Midnight Eagle carrying 59.5kg at $7. Wouldn't surprise to see him repeat the dose.
