NSWSOA FIRST PAST THE POST BONUS DIV 1 PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Rain (Max: 14)    

GOTONEBETTOR (10) continues to race well with a string of top-four finishes to his name, placing in his last three attempts here. Draws wide on the back row but this is winnable if things go his way. HE SAID SHE SAID (2) has had two months off since the Regional Championships series but has been kept up to the mark with a trial win and has the gate speed to be prominent from a low draw. DOUGS RULES (5) hasn't been too far from the placegetters of late and while drawn wider can be competitive again. LONGNWINDINGROAD (7) has been racing at Newcastle of late but was runner-up from this row the last time he raced here.
