---|---|---|---|---|
Strong early tempo with Crowie's Shout and Sixfootone leading the way over Burraneer Buoy. SIXFOOTONE (9) is yet to strike through this campaign but is knocking on the door. Peaking now and is drawn to get all the favours. The one to beat. BURRANEER BUOY (6) went desperately close to making it two on the bounce to kick off the campaign. Strips fitter again and is a third-up winner. Main danger. CROWIE'S SHOUT (5) gave a bold sight when resuming at Taree, only to feel the pinch and was ambushed late. Strips fitter as he steps out to a pet trip. Big chance. SUPREME COMMAND (4) was far from his best here last star when tailing right off. Form prior was solid. Extensive gear changes could see a sharp bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sixfootone to win.
