GOING: G

bet365 Class 2 Four and Five-Year-Old Plate 1100m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 24) Rail: True.
From their good gates Soonali and Flash Fiorente will likely vie for the lead in a keen early contest. DUMMY SPIT (1) was disappointing as favourite last start and will be backing up quickly if he lines up in this. The drop back to 1100 metres could help him and he is worth another chance. STARTON (9) won his first start on this track very easily after making the move from Victoria and is heading back into that sort of form recently. He was a solid third here last week and should be in the finish here as well. NASTY STREAK (8) had his last start at a Mudgee picnic meeting where he finished runner-up 7 weeks ago. He is well-placed in this and should pick up his first win in the area at short notice. LORD GEORGE (2) was mixing his form in South Australia and has changed stables over his spell. A change of scenery is sometimes all they need and he can make his presence felt in this fresh up, especially if there is any money for him. HADRIAN'S WALL (12) was narrowly beaten into third in her first local start for a new trainer and will only improve with racing. Stick with her. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lord George each-way.
