GOING:

BLACK HORSE NATURALS PACE 1710m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 17)    

GALLICO (10) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, heading to the paddock off a string of top-three finishes including a win at this venue. Draws out a little on the second line so may need luck at some point but was readied with a trial. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. IFYOULOVEMELETMEGO (3) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks after showing some good form last campaign. Readied with a trial win and should enjoy an economical run from this draw. CALEDONIAN TERRA (5) draws a couple of spots wider but comes right into contention after leading and scoring last start by nearly 7 metres at Terang. KIMCHI (6) deserves respect after scoring at this circuit and distance last time, giving him two wins and second from his last three starts.
