GOING: H(10)

McGrath Family 0-58 Handicap 1454m

Track:   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 3m 1800m - 300m, True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo from Teddy Boy booting up from an inside draw to join Departing Bullet and Surreal Winston up front. TRACK PATCHER (3) is the one to beat if he takes his place here. Has plenty up his sleeve and is ready for the step up to the middle distance. He's won a jumpout since last seen and the blinkers are on for the first time. TEDDY BOY (2) brings a win and a near miss from Moe on soft tracks and he jumps from the rail and may control the race. Has to run out the middle distance but will get every chance to do so. CELNADO (1) has been around the mark and didn't have much luck here last time on the heavy. Fit and expect him to run it out. Stablemate SHEER LUNACY (5) is also well seasoned and gets in well with a 3kg claim. Marginal claims along with REWARD WITH A ROSE (8) who jumps plenty in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Track Patcher.

Third-up today. First-up won by a long-neck at Moe Mdn-Sw June 1 over 1628m in soft going defeating Infinite Jest carrying 59.5kg at $41.
