GOING: S

Blenners Trn/Opal Fibre (Bm60) 900m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True Entire Course.  

Pace a cracker with Exactamente, Dreamline and Sancy Rose going hard, closely attended by My Sister Sal. SARANDOS (6) is busting to win and keeps improving. Just missed at Townsville the latest and expect him to have the speed to manage the awkward barrier. EXACTAMENTE (1) led and missed a nose at Cairns making a ratings spike. Has to carry top weight at this level but is good enough to manage. COCHRANE (7) resumed improved beaten a whisker in a Townsville Open 3. Draws for the run of the race and won't have to improve to be a serious player. MY SISTER SAL (12) resumes and is right up to this at best. Goes fresh but has the outside barrier and that makes it hard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Sarandos in a good contest.
