GOING: H

Wangaratta Chronicle (Bm58) 1400m Track: HEAVY 8 Mostly Clear Rail: Out 3m 1600m - 800m. True Remainder. (Pent: 5.53).
Smokin' Hard will inject early pace into this contest. GHOST DOCTOR (3) has been racing well in better company without winning. Made a sustained run to get up for 4th over 1200m at Seymour last start. Carries a similar weight today with the claim and is dropping from a 64 to a 58. Big chance to break through with the step up in distance. BANKSY STRIKES (14) chased hard and only missed by half a length over 1200m at Moe recently. Hasn't won for a long while but this looks a most suitable assignment. GEORGIA'S HOST (6) improved sharply last start following a 40-day let-up. Can go on with it now. FIRSTCLASS DREAMER (1) has a good first up record and is a big threat in this company. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks a very nice race for #3 Ghost Doctor.
