The pace looks strong from the outset. BARMERA (1) is racing consistently this preparation with a win and three placings from four starts and this is not an overly strong affair. Has only missed a drum once in seven efforts around this circuit and should get a gun run from the inside marble. Rates the testing material. Former Victorian ACCLIMATISE (2) has hit the top-four in all four starts since joining the new stable and looks to be nearing another victory. Has to be considered in calculations. CONVERTOR (6) has a win and four placings from nine efforts around this circuit and looks a must for the multiples. GRINZINGER BURG (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Barmera.

JANEL RYAN 6YO BROWN GELDING 60.0KG R Watson, J R Watson, P J Watson, C W Watson & J Watson Last start 3rd in a small field at this track Cl3-Sw on April 4 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Better Than Words carrying 60kg at $4.40.

Should go forward again and he is a leading contender. |
