GOING: H

Gawler Arms Hotel Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1719m

Track: HVY10   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 5m Entire. (Pent: 6.61).  

Early speed assured from Salute The Stars, Weekend Warrior and Bella Kathleen locking horns ahead of Ovabent. FLIGHT DECK (3) bounced back sharply here last start when beaten narrowly over this trip. Wide alley to overcome but only needs to hold his form to be very competitive. ROCKBARTON ROAD (10) is knocking on the door. Drops back in trip on the short turnaround and gets in light at the weights with the 3kg claimer piloting. Serious contender this time. SALUTE THE STARS (4) wasn't too far away here at the latest. Good effort last time out and a similar one will have him featuring again. Just has to hold his form. COVERT WITNESS (7) has struggled to threaten in her last two against stronger opposition but is much better placed this time. Can bounce back sharply and takes benefit from Holder piloting. Don't take lightly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Flight Deck.
