GOING: H

Glenroy Chaff (Rs1mw) 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 3m Entire.  

Sockoff and Olga Louisa both like to lead and should set the pace. Mantelli and Cash Away won't be far away. STATE OF POWER (5) has a tricky draw but is capable of going forward having drawn alongside the likely leader. Bursting to win one after a string of seconds and has to be respected. GHOST WHO WALKS (4) has done nothing wrong this time in and while also drawn wide if he has some luck can be in the finish again. SOCKOFF (2) found her form quickly second-up with an all the way win over this course. Up in class slightly but will give a sight. GO FORWARD (1) and CASH AWAY (6) are worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: State Of Power to win.

Just fair last time but entitled to another chance with form around previous win good.
