GOING: G(4)

MINES ROVERS FOOTBALL CLUB HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 5m Entire. (Pent: 6.4).  

Expecting Counter Drive to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. TOWN HALL (10) boasts a strong record over this course and distance and wasn't far away over 1300m a fortnight ago, beaten under a length. He draws a little softer this time and if he can run up to what he produced most recently, he'll take plenty of beating. KICK A GOAL SON (1) comes through the same race as Town Hall, finishing alongside the top pick last time out. He just missed as favourite here two starts ago and he maps for a much softer run in transit today. Recent efforts suggest he has his hoof on the till. GLUTEN FREE (2) went close to winning last start and continued his recent run of strong form. The apprentice replacing the senior hoop is a little niggle, but it's hard to ignore his recent form and he should be in the finish once again. RED CADILLAC (8) is hard to knock on recent performances and while she is back in trip, she ran well here two back. Include. COUNTER DRIVE (3) can lead them up and take plenty of catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Town Hall gets the nod.
