GOING:

MULTICAM ROUTING SYSTEM 63RD INTER CITY PACE HEAT FOUR 2422m

Track: GOOD      

HUXTON (4) comes here following a fourth behind Cheerstolou at Listed level three weeks ago over 1660m at Albion Park. The one to beat from an ideal draw. OUR ROCKER (3) finished fourth at Ballarat two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 2240m at Melton, beaten 19 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. LOYAL LOU (1) is better than his last-start eighth over 1710m at Goulburn. Worth another chance from the coveted pegs draw. BETTORLIGHTEM UP (2) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at Menangle. Can make amends in this easier assignment.
