GOING: G

St Andrew's Apartments Hcp-58 1100m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Little Kibo leading from Hard Ransom and Familja. HARD RANSOM (2) did a good job last start to finish second at Fannie Bay over 1300m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Won't mind coming back in distance. Major player. FAMILJA (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on April 14 finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths over 1100m at Fannie Bay. Form at this trip is sound and is a leading contender. LITTLE KIBO (4) is a six-year-old mare who is having her first run for the Tommy Logan barn. Finished off last campaign when seventh at Goulburn three-and-a-half months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks well placed here. Bold showing expected. CASSATT (5) lines up on the back of a 8 length seventh over 1100m at Fannie Bay. Best figures measure up favourably. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard Ransom to win.
