MAJOR OAK TICKETS ON SALE NOW PACE 1720m

Track: FAST      

ED MENDES (4) produced a better effort last start when runner-up over 1720m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Leading hope in a similar race. NITRO DANNY (7) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 6 metres. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Good enough to take out a race like this. LOOKIN GOOD MARGIE (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.5 metres at this track over 2125m. OKAY GRINGO (3) has a good draw and is worth some thought despite his last-start eighth over 2125m at this track on April 24.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing seventh after being driven well back, behind Choochoo Train at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 53 on May 26 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Bettine at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 52 on June 5 at $3. With even luck is a winning chance.
