SWANNY'S FOODS/PW CONCRETE SHOWCASE CG&E CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 15)   +8m 1400m-W/Post; +4m Remainder  

Castlehyde is the likely leader from a wide alley. FIOPROSPERO (2) promising gelding resuming with a good fresh record. Came to the end of his prep when stretching out to the 1900m when second at Newcastle on February 6. Not asked to do much when fifth in a recent 1000m Gosford trial on May 20. Tongue-tie goes and gets his chance from the good gate. DEELBREAKA (5) dropped sharply in trip when powered late to run fourth over 1200m at Parkes on May 19. Back in grade and has the ability to take this out. DUBLIN (6) near his top now and back in his right grade after finishing eighth over 1200m at Parkes on May 19. Nose-roll goes on and look for him late. GOVERNOR GENERAL (7) found form at his last three outings and brings strong figures here. Sat just off the speed and kept coming when third over 1400m at Wellington on May 30. Can hold a forward position from the good gate and take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,5,6,7.
