GOING: S(5)

ELLERSLIE EVENTS 1200m

Track: SOFT5     True  

There is good pace and pressure anticipated from barrier rise in this field over 1200m. WIND OF CHANGE (11) is ready to win this time in. Ace draw. No excuses here. CANNY MAN (4) has not being going as badly as it seems this time in. Quinella and trifecta chance. LOVEAROADIE (13) both runs so far this time in have been sound. Can swim if required. Senior rider atop. NIGHT NIGHT DORA (14) has won third up. Include here after a 1kg claim. SUZUKA (9) winning senior rider atop. Wide gate. Handles most types of footing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wind Of Change is a win wager.
