GOING: H(8)

KENNARDS HIRE Class 1 Handicap 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.40)  

Knowitall Frank to take up the running with Uluwatu and Little Spark close at hand. KNOWITALL FRANK (15) won on debut at a Goondiwindi picnic meeting and then was only beaten by a length as favourite here 2 weeks ago after missing the kick. He cops a wide gate, but is on the up, and has the scope to work his way through the grades this year. ULUWATU (5) will give Mark Currie a strong hand in this race, and she resumed with a solid effort for third here a fortnight ago. She won a trial before that and is expected to be right in the finish again. TOMYDONKA (1) did well in 4 starts during his initial campaign last sprint and will be resuming with a quiet trial under his belt. The pole position will suit him, and he won't be far away. LITTLE SPARK (14) will be peaking third up and is ready to put her hoof forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Knowitall Frank to win.
