GOING: N

GREAT OCEAN ROAD REAL ESTATE PACE 1650m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 17)    

CHEYS ANGEL (7) put the writing on the wall when she just missed out by a nose as runner-up last time at Kilmore. Draws wide but should be hitting peak fitness fourth-up and both career wins have come at this distance. OWEN THE SAINTS (6) is racing well having come from the back row to place in both outings since a spell. Tends to do his best work at this distance. Strong claims. JILLIBY TIDALWAVE (3) raced parked when placed here last time. Draws well and should be ready to peak now. GOODTIME CAPTAIN (5) won his lone second-up attempt so can progress off his midfield effort when resuming.
