GOING: S(5)

THOROUGHBRED PARK FUNCTION CENTRE PLATE 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 4m 1000m-380m. True Remainder. (Pent: 4.1).  

A slick tempo on the cards with Disrupt and Takeover Artist settling ahead of Final Crack. CLUBMAN (5) debuts for Sydney's Neasham barn and has trialled at Randwick. Has a handy barrier and they've scratched the fancied stablemate. The yard strikes at almost 30% at this track and everything points to a bold run. BO BO BEWARE (2) resumes and creates plenty of interest. He's good enough but has been off the scene for 447 days. He's trialled twice and Collett's booking is a decent push for his chances. The late betting moves will tell plenty. FINAL CRACK (3) is up from Wodonga and has been knocking on the door. May have been undone by the wet track at Echuca his latest. Peaks and Heywood is a key jockey booking. DISRUPT (6) represents Canberra's premier barn and despite the price can't be taken too lightly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Clubman is likely to have good ability.
