GOING: H(10)

LADBROKES CALCUTTA & LUNCHEON 13 JUNE Class 6 Handicap 1615m

Track: HVY10   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.98)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Free Carry taking charge. DEMON DARB (8) goes well for hoop Wheeler who has a win and two placings from just three steers and will be high on confidence following that dominant last-start victory over this track and trip. Back in form now and is certainly worth following up. FREE CARRY (4) was a touch flat last time out but go on the two solid wins to start the campaign. Respect the Gollan/Lang combination. Former NSW galloper SMART LEGEND (7) looked good saluting in his first local outing and Guthmann-Chester stays on top. Top-three commodity. HATCHET (1) is a five-time winner here, draws the inside marble and gets 3kg off with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. CADETSHIP (2) best of the rest from the Waller yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Demon Darb to go back-to-back.
