GOING: S

Spot On Hoses (Bm64) 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 6m 1100m-W/Post. Out 3m Remainder.  

Loads of early pressure, primarily from Belieber and Repeal. GIRL MANIA (5) has been freshened since an unplaced city result first up. Proven in this grade and races well at this venue. Lots to like in this grade of race for an in-form yard. HEADWALL (10) was impressive in a strong debut win over a similar trip. Has trialled up nicely since and despite a genuine class rise can measure up. REACH FOR GOLD (6) has the speed to overcome a wide draw and can be forgiven his only poor run to date in latest. Finds his right trip this time. PRINCE NICCONI (4) was a very impressive winner first-up and showed he's returned as good as he went out. Must be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Girl Mania each-way.
