GOING:

ADVERTISER PRINT MS PACE 2265m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 22)    

HES THUNDER (7) made it three wins on the trot when he scored by 5.5 metres last time out here at this trip. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Primary contender in a similar race. GOTA GOOD WARHOL (3) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 2265m at this track, beaten 5.5 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. SECOND AMENDMENT (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 6 metres at this track over 2265m. MY GRAND ANGUS (8) must be respected after scoring last start by a head at this track over 2265m.
