GOING: S(7)

TOYOTA FORKLIFTS COLIN STEPHEN QUALITY 2400m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.76).  

Campaldino and Changingoftheguard are likely to pair-off in front at a reasonable clip. STRATHTAY (2) sat off the speed and hooked out in plenty of time when a plugging third as fav over 2400m at Randwick in the LR Tatt's Club Cup behind Redstone Well on September 7. Will relish the sting out of the ground and can return to form here. FIRST LIGHT (5) is working towards a win fourth up and drops 5kg in weight after surging late when fourth over 2400m here in easier company on September 14. Conditions suit and can race a little closer. Each way. CHANGINGOFTHEGUARD (1) imported Galileo gelding third up for this after fading late when fourth over 2400m in the LR City Tatt's Club Cup at Randwick on September 7. A bit of give in the ground will help his cause. CAMPALDINO (7) is building in fitness and could be close to a win off back-to-back placings. SUGGESTED PLAY: Strathtay to win.
