GOING: G(4)

ARMSTRONG GWM Class 2 Handicap 1890m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +2.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.90)  

In a race without an obvious leader, either Somethin In Orange or Slugworth can roll them along. HIDEYO (3) seeks the hat-trick off spacious wins at the track with the latest over this distance. She's been leading them up but draws out today. She can go on with it with average luck. SOMETHIN IN ORANGE (1) brings a Maiden win and a nose defeat at the track. Maps for the run of the race and keeps getting better. SUPER FAIR (9) spiked her figures winning a CL1 at the Sunshine Coast, stepping up to a mile. May have been flattered by the heavy track but she gets in well and has to be considered. DIPIERDOMENICO (6) was an easy Kempsey winner over this distance on a heavy track. A dry surface may also bring him back to them, but he can't be ignored. SLUGWORTH (2) needs to find more to be winning but has more upside than many of these. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Hideyo.
