GOING: G(4)

SWANNY'S FOODS CLASS 2 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Star Stroke to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. TRUMPTY DUMPTY (10) has returned in good order. Easy winner first-up at Narromine then finished the race off well but was never a threat last start over 1300m at Dubbo. Back in trip but gets some weight relief so will be hard to hold out. SORRENTO PALACE (7) got a long way back and was never a factor last time out over this distance at Dubbo. Generally reliable so that run was a mystery. Must be given another chance. COMONGIN (3) started favourite but as no match for Trumpty Dumpty first up over today's journey at Narromine. Lightly raced three-year-old who can improve sharply off that run and make things interesting. KEADOOL (6) led and gave a kick before being ambushed in the shadows last start over this distance at Narromine. Can run another cheeky race. ALMOST MAYBE (4) found form last start and can go on with it now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Trumpty Dumpty.

Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 3rd of 12 at Narromine Ctry Bm58 on September 22 over 1100m, on rain affected going; neck behind Simply Better carrying 58kg at $13.
