---|---|---|---|---|
Good speed here with Destiny's Bounty, Castlebar Road, Vainstream and Hampton Cove. AQUARTER (5) won well at Muswellbrook when resuming then drifter in betting and ran a nice third at Scone last week. Suited here with the claim and looks a big chance. CASTLEBAR ROAD (1) has put two together over 900m and 800m and has plenty of pace to take advantage of an inside draw. If he can run the 1000m out he's hard to beat. CROP DUSTER (3) was a winner at Newcastle two starts back before being close up at Wyong. Coming back to country grade could be the key. Each-way. DESTINY'S BOUNTY (2) and LIFE WELL LIVED (7) are in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aquarter to win.
