Dean Walker Designs C1 Hcp 1150m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

Cracking tempo with Geegeeschaser and Fillentina leading the way. STROAK OF ART (3) is a progressive type who tackled far tougher company last time at Launceston. Freshened for this and meets a far easier line-up. Well worth another chance. OZONICA (2) is a promising gelding who was very heavily bet on debut here and after stalking the speed drew clear with a bit in hand. Tricky gate but has upside and can make it back-to-back wins. CELESTIAL GLOW (6) was beaten a fair way last time but is better than that. Placed only try here and with the light weight will be tough to stop late. OLIVE GIRL (5) has gone a long time since winning but has ability and placed 2/2 while fresh. Has the ability and can run into the finish. GEEGEESCHASER (7) is an honest type who has placed four of last six and will take running down. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stroak Of Art worth another chance.
