GOING: G(4)

Riverland Milk & Trading BM52 Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.20)  

Trustthesheriff can work over from a wide gate to lead. MAHJING (7) has been thereabouts without winning but won't get a better chance to break through. Wound up strongly last time and looks tough to beat this line-up. LOU LOU'S CHOICE (8) looks the main threat. Placed over the border two back then midfield last time. Races on speed and worth noting did win only try at course and distance. Should run well. WAKITI BULL (5) resumes from a long spell and is fitter for a recent trial win. Aided by the claim and looks a win chance fresh. BRONCO REVOLUTION (2) has sound recent form. Has placed last couple in tougher company and despite the wide gate expected to take catching. OURZACRACKER (13) hasn't been able to break through for an age but well placed this class and gets chance to find some form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mahjing should be tough to stop.
