GOING: H(10)

SAWTELL BOWLING CLUB CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1405m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m 1000m-350m, True Remainder.  

Expecting Pride Of Lanka to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. CALVARY (6) was narrowly beaten in consecutive runs before tiring late in a disappointing performance over the mile at Ballina last Sunday. Draws the fence and won't mind the step back in trip. Can bounce back in a moderate affair. LOLITA (3) was a month between runs when a respectable fourth last time out over 1205m at Grafton. Has been tried twice at this distance and failed but those runs came at the end of last prep. Well in on 55kgs and should be right there at the business end. ADEQUATE EZE (1) came with a sustained run from well before the turn to win his maiden last start over 1205m at Grafton. Ran a couple of nice races over this distance when last in work. Well placed to keep the ball rolling. THE COMANCHE (4) has mixed his form this prep, with the best effort a second two back on heavy ground over 1509m at Port Macquarie. In the mix with a similar performance today. BRAIN WAVE (2) can surprise fresh from an eight-week let-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cavalry on top.
