GOING: G(4)

TAB FEDERAL- BLACK MOUNTAIN 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 4.18).  

I Call Junee Home, Bomarea and Body Bob will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Spinosaurus and Master Joe. BODY BOB (1) resumes and flies fresh. First-up last preparation he missed a whisker here in Open grade and was beaten 1L at this level following in the Wagga Town Plate. He presents off a 6L Goulburn trial win and Heywood is reunited. The speedy galloper kicks off at 1000m for the first time and will be hard to toss. BOMAREA (6) won a Quality at Grafton by a space and then had excuses at Rosehill. She's since won a Port Macquarie trial by 8L and looks primed. She races forward and draws to advantage. Rates a danger. KING GUTHO (4) was disappointing at Grafton but was ridden more conservatively in a 64 at Canterbury following and won comfortably. He's been kept up to the mark with a trial win. Jumps from the rail and that may, or may not, be to his advantage. FANGELA (3) is in the premier local barn and he's been around the mark in Open grade. His record here over this shorter sprint is strong and he maps well. Goes into the trifectas at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Body Bob in a good contest.
