GOING: G

Centreline Saddlery ASTC awards night Handicap 1100m

Track: Good   Rain (Max: 38)   Rail: True.  

A stack of early pressure, primarily from Omoplata and Only The Best. BOY BIG (1) motored home late when finishing third in a stronger 6-horse field here nearly 2 weeks ago. He can mix his form at times but is dropping back to his rightful grade and if his mind is on the job, he can take this out. LITTLE DITTY (2) has been in the money in 3 of his 4 starts on the track after a successful Darwin campaign to kick things off after making the move from NSW. He is facing a similar field in this and should produce another honest effort. Each-way. OMOPLATA (5) has had some issues in his last couple of starts and could be looking to try and cross over from a wide gate this time. If he can find the front early, a form reversal would be no surprise. TAORMINA DUCHESS (6) broke her win drought when making a welcome return to the winners' circle last week. This is only slightly harder and she should be in the finish again. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Omoplata each-way.
