GOING: G(3)

NARROMINE USMC DIGGERS CUP 1300m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Elson Boy likes to lead and will look to do that. Moetta can show pace with Macchina Volante. ELSON BOY (6) hasn't raced since winning the WRA Championships at Coonamble, the runner-up in that race ran second in the Final at Randwick. Missed that race with a setback. Likes to lead and will be hard to run down if he does. MOETTA (1) resumed with a handy effort at Scone before failing off a wide gate in the Wellington Town Plate. Capable of bouncing back. THE DRAMATIST (5) is a Highway winner and capable of showing up with any luck. DEEL STREET (9) and SCORCHED LAND (2) head the other hopes in an open contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elson Boy to win. Save on Moetta.

Overlook last time, she's one of the chances.
