GOING: HEAVY 10

Clarke Trenching Mdn Hcp 1250m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: True Entire Course.  

War Singa to take up the running at a moderate tempo. WAR SINGA (5) missed a whisker on debut when expected to need it. It was a good effort and fitter she will be hard to beat keeping the 2kg claim. JIMMY WITHA DASH (2) resumes and is an ex SA galloper switched to the Potiris barn. Has placed 2/3 fresh and is up to this if presented on-song. MUSICAL GIRL (7) is ex NSW and resumes for the new yard with the blinkers applied. Was plain last campaign in better Maidens but deserves a betting watch. BREAK ON THROUGH (1) is also a former NSW galloper now on the Potiris yard. Needs to show more but might well do it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with War Singa.
