GOING: G

Warrack Concrete 0 - 58 Hcp 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.44)  

Strong tempo, primarily from Shimshalar and Toojay. Veteran speedster RAGING MONKEY (8) will find this 0-58 contest more to his liking than recent outings. Last six starts have been in BM64 grade or higher, including a last-start second placing at Donald when beaten less than half-a-length. A repeat of that would give this a shake. SHIMSHALAR (6) hasn't finished out of the top two at her past three and while two of those were across the border in SA, two back she ran well at Edenhope in a similar class of race to this. BEAUKATI (3) resumes and three of her four wins have come when resuming so she needs to be respected on that fact alone. FIRST DIVISION (10) wasn't beaten far last time and can bob up here with a repeat of that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Raging Monkey each way.
