GOING: S(7)

NARRANDERA EX-SERVICEMANS CLUB CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Simone's Choice and Majestic Maremma possess good early speed. BACK UP PLAN (3) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1200m at Corowa a month ago. Promising type who can measure up again. LONGREACH DROVER (2) scored his maiden win last time out at Pakenham and is looking for another fair run. CARIBBEAN VILLA (5) showed early speed from a good draw last time and led into the straight but was swamped late at Swan Hill. Expected to be in this for a long way. VASALA (1) was very impressive in his debut campaign and lines up for the new stable now with a solid trial under his belt. Likely to be better over further, but he finds a suitable kickoff point here and can't be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Up Plan to make it two on the bounce.
