GOING: G(4)

ST JOHNS PARK BOWLING CLUB CG&E CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.06).  

Solid early tempo with Draco's Fire and Spanish Fox capable of leading the way. SPANISH FOX (1) powered home at this track and trip to win his maiden last time out. Very consistent horse who can easily go on with it up in grade. DRACO’S FIRE (3) was well placed to net consistent results last campaign and has the benefit of two recent trials. Expecting a competitive effort from a sweet draw. LONE FORCE (4) disappointed in class one grade last time out after some consistent race day efforts. Better than that and fitness no issue. Can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spanish Fox win.
1 22x21 SPANISH FOX
