GOING: S(5)

TAB FEDERAL 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +9m 1000m-380m, +7m Remainder. (Pent: 3.81)  

Louie's Legacy to take up the running . LAUREL HILL (6) has been racing well in stronger class and didn't miss by far in an 82 at Dubbo last time. Has her first start over a mile and the in-form Heywood rides for the first time. Can tip out the favourite. LOUIE'S LEGACY (3) led and won easily here this grade/trip and then improved again belting the Open graders at Cootamundra by 4.3L. He will likely control the race from the rails gate and has a handy 2kg claim. Feared. HEIR JORDAN (8) has weight relief off a 1L defeat at Moruya this trip. Finally draws an inside barrier and his peaks stack right up. Will get every chance. SPITFIRE (1) had been tracking well before a couple of plain runs at Kembla Grange. The latest was over 2000m and this contest suits better. Has a handy 3kg claim and deserves consideration. PRETTY EYED (7) and OFFSPRING (6) are in Canberra's premier stable and no surprise if they show more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Laurel Hill.
