GOING: G(4)

Worklocker Wangaratta 0-56 Handicap 1590m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 3m 400m - WP, True Remainder.  

Loads of pressure, primarily from Sir Lazarus, Theo Five and Royal Summer. PHAROAH'S DAUGHTER (7) narrowly on top. Two runs back from a spell have just been fair but she was well backed last time at Kilmore and now looks suited rising in trip third up, especially on her home track here where the Brisbourne yard strike very highly. EX MACHINA (5) comes back in trip having struggled over 2000m last time at Kilmore. He can hold a spot from the inside gate and will be strong to the line. SLY CASCATA (6) won at Tocumwal in easier company two back, okay last time at Echuca in a BM56. This suits, each way. NINYO (9) resumes having gone to the paddock a winner at Moe, beating A Diva which is great form for this. She isn't the most reliable conveyance but has to be respected. THEO FIVE (16) is off picnic form but a few are and he draws ideally. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pharoah's Daughter to win.
