GOING: G(4)

Grarock Plumbing Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1430m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +2m 800m-600m.  

Genuine tempo with Limbering leading the way. TOFINO (4) brings a string of provincial placings in stronger. Has the inside barrier and Crowther rides. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. SUPREME THUNDER (3) needs a good ride but is busting to win. Was back and wide from a cruel gate at Murray Bridge last time this trip and missed a nose. Will have to do it the hard way again but has to be considered. ARC DE PUISSANCE (1) Improved last start finding one better over 1400m at Oakbank. Has a wide gate to manage as well, but gets weight relief with the 4kg claim, and he can feature with average luck. DON'TCALLMECHAMP (7) resumes and has won 2/4 fresh. Keep an eye on the betting with him. FRANKEL STAR (2) was better at Oakbank and will be around the mark racing forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Tofino.
