HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE HOOPER CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. I SHOW SPEED (1) raced on the pace last start before fading to finish seventh over 1200m at Moruya. Can bounce back. SIMONE'S CHOICE (9) finished out of the money two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten seventh over 1000m at Narrandera two weeks ago. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BIFURCATION (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention finishing fourth over 1000m at Albury. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. DO YA HEAD IN (3) was safely held when ninth last start over 1200m at Goulburn, after a good first-up win at Queanbeyan. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,9,2,3.

Third-up today. Resuming tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Albury Ctry Cl1 on May 26 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Bargino with 59kg at $4.20. Second-up sat on the pace before fading 7th of 10 at Moruya Cl1 on June 19 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Dirtballer carrying 58.5kg at $7. Best form stacks up nicely and worth another chance.
