GOING: H(8)

METALCO 1200m

Track: HEAVY     Out 6m  

Strong tempo with Cleat, Oppenheimer and Pharaoh's Dream leading the charge. CHARMER (7) is having her first run since January 18. Good record fresh up. Proven on dry and wet. Each-ay all day. BUTTERFIELD (2) is a course winner. Can handle wide draw. Quinella and trifecta must. POWER OF THREE (9) was a good third fresh up. Wide draw. Can handle dry and wet footing. Top tier must. CLEAT (1) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in contention on the corner before winding up in fifth over 1300m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Course placed. Chance here to be in the finish. INCA BELLE (8) has been course placed before. Wide gate. Can still place or be first four in this line up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Charmer and Power Of Three are win wagers.
