Plenty of pressure from Charlina, Just Awesome and Li'l Grug battling for the lead over Ride The River. JUST AWESOME (1) speedy colt who finds a winnable contest third-up. Sat just off the speed and stuck on well with the 59kg to run fourth in a fast run contest over 1000m at Gosford in BM64 class. Go close. CHARLINA (3) finally got off the mark at start seven with an impressive Maiden win in good style over 1000m at this track. Key jockey change and can keep the winning momentum going. ANDARNA (8) Farnan two-year-old filly from Amazing Belle on debut for the Robert and Luke Price stable. Has impressed in all three trials and can compete against her older rivals. Respect. RIDE THE RIVER (2) resumes after he showed ability last prep and is now in the Beer and Carpenter yard. Worked hard from the wide gate before he folded up in the straight to finish sixth over 1200m at Gosford in BM64 class last November. Impressed in his only trial win over 800m at this track. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just Awesome in a strong contest.
