WESTERN NAMIO VET SERVICES AND GORDON ROADWAYS SANTOS HEAT 1 2160m

Track: FAST   Clear (Max: 29)    

OTIS RISING (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 22 metres into eighth at Tamworth over 1609m. Steps up a level but from this better draw he is capable of running a huge race. IM BELIEBER (7) finished fourth last start over 1609m at Tamworth, beaten 10 metres, after a modest fifth at Dubbo the run prior. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. ANNIE CROCKER (5) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Tamworth last time out. ADRENALINE RUSH (6) disappointed last time when eighth over 1980m at Tamworth. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
