GOING: G

BOTRA NOVICE DRIVERS SERIES ON MAY 4 PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 20)    

SHOOBEES SPIRIT (4) finished second last start, beaten 5.5 metres at this track over 2090m. Meets a comparable field so he can play a big role in the outcome. EMER (5) found form and finished in the money two runs ago then came back to earth when she broke and finished fourth last start over 2090m at this track, coming home 9 metres from the winner. Meets a similar line up so she is sure to be a force if the manners improve. SUNSHINE SAINT (2) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 2180m at Burnie. JUSTIFY (3) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.
