Port Augusta   23 May 2025
 
GOING: G

Crombies Bulk Haulage Rating 0 - 52 Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. BROADWAY LANE (2) has been sound in his three runs back, despite being beaten a stretch last start. Peaking now and the drop in distance should suit. Expect him to cross quickly and give them something to catch. OUR GODDESS (7) didn't fire last start at Murray Bridge but will find this easier. Form prior stacks up without standing out, and she's benefited from the inside draw. Expecting her to be in this for a long way. SHIKANIC (1) was well beaten when resuming over 900m but has a strong second-up record and should relish the extra trip. Expecting sharp improvement. NOT A SINGLE BID (8) beat home Broadway Lane here last start, so deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Broadway Lane.
