GOING: G

GRAINSTORE CAFE COBRAM PACE 1670m

Track: GOOD      

SOHO PLAYGIRL (8) is in good form with two wins and a second from her last three starts. Registered a commanding victory last time out, scoring by more than 9 metres at Echuca. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and won the only time she raced here. Leading hope. IAMAHUNTER (5) returned from a spell in very good order last start when he led and kept going to score at Coolamon, getting home by 2 metres. Could go right on with the job. DOOO DONT THINK (6) is a player after a string of top-three finishes, the latest a solid second at Echuca. Hard to fault his consistency. SIR SONNY MAGUIRE (9) must be considered after he finished runner-up at Bendigo last start and won from this barrier prior.
