GOING: N

WTC EARTHMOVING AND SANTOS FINAL 2160m

Track: FAST   Rain (Max: 12)    

ANTETOKOUNMPO (3) turned in another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Newcastle. No excuses from this advantageous draw. On top. JUSTAWARRIOR (2) turned in a much better run last start when runner-up over 1609m at Tamworth, beaten 2 metres after travelling in the leading division then finding the lead only to be cut down late. Has the benefit of a good draw. Taking on a better line-up this time, but he is good enough to play a major role. LIMOUSINE CHEEKY (7) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Tamworth over 1609m. Genuine threat. ANNIE CROCKER (10) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her finish third over 1609m at Tamworth.
