Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: +3m W/Post-400m, True Remainder.  

Even tempo only with Bocheeva pushing forward from the outside gate in a race that lacks genuine early speed. GOOCHEE GAL (12) is mixing her form but has peaks that measure up. Gets in light at the weights with the claimer aboard and should blend into the race nicely from the middle draw. First time tackling this trip but it looks suitable. BOCHEEVA (1) improved sharply last time at Gawler when sticking on gamely into second after showing good tactical speed. Nearing peak now and can offset the wide alley early. Main danger. CHOPPA DE GRASS (3) was sound when resuming off a lengthy break at Balaklava. Kept fresh with a month between runs and keeps the 3kg claimer to get him in well at the weights. Longer trip suits and he looks one of the chances. THE PUNK ROCKER (9) should be hitting his straps now fourth-up, though could get too far back from the draw. Worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Goochee Gal gets the nod.
