Plenty of pressure on from the outset.
GARRUCHA (4) has continued to get better all year and resumed from a winter spell with an effortless win here by over 5 lengths a fortnight ago. He has an even better record over 1100m and gets to carry 2.5kg less this time. A good draw will help and he will be looking to take them all of the way again. RED WRAITH (1) was back in winning form here 3 weeks ago when leading all the way to score by nearly 4 lengths in this grade. He cops a 3kg penalty but is always hard to beat around this circuit. KICKATORP (3) is another consistent local gelding who has the front hoof pads off for his resuming run which is always a good sign. He has winning form fresh-up and should make his presence felt. FLYING START (2) is racing consistently and will make full use of the pole position. Jarrod Todd is in the saddle for the first time and the pair merit healthy respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Garrucha to win.
