GOING: S(5)

Your Say Group Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Shadowfax should lead at a strong tempo. COPPER BULLET (1) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1200m at Balaklava. Toeroek has registered two minor placings when on board. Ready to land the winning blow. SHADOWFAX (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out here. Has the speed to overcome a wide draw and is one of the key chances. ECLAIR VITALITY (2) is proving frustrating for punters but does possess a strong turn of foot on his day. Watch for him late if the pace is genuine. RULED BY THIEVES (6) was met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over this trip at Strathalbyn. Best figures measure up, so willing to give another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Copper Bullet to win.
