|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Brilliant Badger. The droughtbreaker, where it's a case of the horse with the least convictions. INSTINCTIVE SPIRIT (10) has also placed in 3/13 to date. The first up run at Echuca was just fair but getting to 1600m will suit much better. SHADES OF SHERIFF (7) is a 29 start maiden who is dropping sharply in trip off a good run at Cranbourne over 2520m last time out. He has placed thrice from six attempts over a mile and will be strong late. HENRY'S FAITH (9) is going okay, not far away in two recent runs. She's some chance in an open race. PERFUME RIVER (13) has placed in 6/15 and is going well of late. Tough draw but a solid chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Instinctive Spirit.
