GOING: S(5)

NUFARM AUSTRALIA CLASS 1 HANDICAP 950m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Champagne Tonight. KEADOOL (4) comes to hand quickly and like the way he attacked the line from the sticky draw when an eye catching second over 950m at Cowra first up. Gets the claim again and should have a successful prep. ARCHAIC FORCE (3) bumped into some progressive types at his last three outings and will prove hard to stop today. Chipped away late when sixth to Solitario over 1200m at Scone. Genuine top three player. CHAMPAGNE TONIGHT (6) first run for the Stirling Osland yard when returning for a gritty win over 1000m at Scone. Looks up to this from the low draw and not to be underestimated. LIVE TO RISE (7) progressive filly heading in the right direction. Drifted back from the wide draw when a surging third over 1000m at Tamworth. Strips fitter and gets her chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keadool to go one better.
