---|---|---|---|---|
A strong tempo assured with Scoffa leading the charge. FOURTH SPARGO (5) saves her best for this course and trip and is racing in a rich vein of form. Gave them a galloping lesson at the latest when a solid winner over the 1020m here on August 30. Expected to go close again from the inside gate. GOGOL (1) tough gelding racing in a rich vein of form. Up sharply in class when sat on the speed for a gritty fourth over 1206m at Canberra Acton on August 23. Inside gate and the claim keep him in the calculations. SCOFFA (8) up in grade for this and will relish the big weight drop after holding on well with the 62.5kg to secure fourth over 1000m at Wagga on September 5. Stays in the mix. GORUSH LIGHTNING (4) improvement is anticipated back to this distance today after struggling at his last three runs. Has a sound record at this trip and can easily show up today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,1,8,4.
