GOING: F

WOLF BLASS PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Rain (Max: 22)    

MATT GREGORS BOY (1) turned in a poor effort by his standards most recently when 22 metres away in tenth over 2030m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw and he can turn the recent effort around. DEBONAIRE (2) ran seventh last start at Bathurst over 1730m, beaten 21 metres. Expecting a very good run from the low draw. SARA TA SLOY (4) deserves consideration after her last-start fifth when resuming over 1720m at Penrith eight days ago. Top-three credentials. ONEHANDONEBOUNCE (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a head at Tamworth over 1980m. Has to be included in calculations.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Sr2) over 2030m at this track beaten 22 m by Cool Night (2:25.40) in NR up to 63 on April 19 at $10. Showed ability the race before when he won by 4 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:27.90) beating Fast Tracker in NR up to 57 on April 11 at $2. Has the ability to figure prominently from a better draw.
