GOING:

TOM YOUNG CONCRETING PACE 2040m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 38)    

FESTINALENTE (7) produced another fine effort last start when she scored over 1720m at Dubbo, coming in 4.5 metres ahead of her rivals. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BETTINGONYA (1) finished third last start over 2260m at Bathurst, beaten 13 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1660m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw and has the ability to take care of this field. LOUIS THE LEGEND (2) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1740m at Riverina Paceway. Should run a big race. SHEZ A PUNTER (6) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1720m at Dubbo last time out.

Then a handy effort when third after a quick start, behind Kings Fury at Bathurst over 2260m in a NR up to 47 on December 10 at $19. Has a low draw and will go well again.
