GOING: H(10)

STACKS LAW FIRM CLASS 3 HANDICAP 1614m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 3m Entire.  

Incendio and Wilderness Star are the main sources of speed. Highland Raider may sit handy and Bestower can be closer up in trip. BESTOWER (3) won at this track before a spell then found it too short when a close fifth at Wyong fresh. Smaller field and extra ground are ideal. Sure to take beating. WILDERNESS STAR (6) was a runaway winner over this course on a heavy track last week and while up in class she's in top form. Could go on with it. INCENDIO (1) scored his maiden win over this course back in October then resumed with a sound third at Wellington two weeks ago. Fitter and one of the chances. HIGHLAND RAIDER (9) and SCALEXTRICS (5) are place chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bestower to win.
