GOING: G(4)

TAB HIGHWAY HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +2m Entire. (Pent: 4.97)  

Expecting Caravanserai to take up the running with Mountain Top and Xcessive Force close at hand. LORD REMLAP (11) Star Turn gelding who comes to town after his two slick victories at Scone. Sat midfield and rounded them up with ease over 1100m at Scone with the 57kg in C1 grade. Should have little trouble running the 1300m in his toughest test to date. BIG OPINION (10) plagued by wide gates last prep and was well fancied when resuming with a hard fought second over 1100m at Nowra. Comes to hand quickly and will appreciate the big drop in weight. Leading prospect. XCESSIVE FORCE (3) returns from a let-up after she raced without luck with a slashing sixth in the Southern Wild Card over 1400m at Goulburn. Kept up to the mark with a 1000m trial placing and anywhere near her best can win this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 11,10,3.
