Agreeance should lead and dictate terms. The main race of the day, which looks a highly-suited target for the grey BOGA LEGEND (1). Was nominated for a $175k race at Caulfield, but sent here in preference to again doing battle with Jimmy The Bear and Pounding. You wonder how many others in this race could have got within 1.5 lengths of Jimmy The Bear, as he did last start. SPYLARK (2) has improved at each this time in and is still relatively early in the campaign so might have even more improvement in store. GOLIOTUS (4) is much better than recent runs suggest and draws to go closer this time. HOT SUSPECT (5) did little first-up but will be better for it and is more suited up to this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boga Legend to win.

Before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 13 at Ballarat Bm64 on June 29 over 1600m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Governor King with 61kg at $3.10. No Jimmy The Bear to chase here, which he'll find much more to his liking. |
