GOING: G(4)

WASHPOOL LODGE Class 6 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True . (Pent: 4.85)  

Amore Veloce should find the front with Flashing Steel and Brentwood on her heels. TRIBECA STAR (5) booked his place in the Country Championship Final with a gritty win over this distance at Lismore last start. Genuine gelding whose profile is ideal for a race of this nature. CENTRESTONE (16) worked to lead from a wide alley then folded up in the run home last time over this distance at Eagle Farm. Strips fitter, draws the fence, and drops 4kgs so she can make massive strides this time around. CADETSHIP (2) continues to race moderately without threatening in Sydney. Good each-way hope for the Waller camp. SHIHAB (17) found it hard to quicken under a big weight in a Class 6 at Doomben three weeks ago. Massive weight drop today and from a good gate he makes plenty of appeal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tribeca Star can win again.
