GOING: G

Rich River Party Hire Up and Comers 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with Highland George and Lario leading the way. ROADCONE (1) is a handy type who ran well first up at Cranbourne over 1200m, beaten a long neck by an in form horse. He'll strip fitter for that, gets in quite well despite the top weight and should go awfully close - particularly after the race thins out with the scratchings. LARIO (5) resumes. This is a suitable kickoff point having raced against some smart opposition last time in. Watch the betting. FABRICE (3) is racing well and can figure off a let up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Roadcone to win.
