GOING: F

FARMER JOES A FAMILY BUSINESS PACE 1609m

Track: FAST      

Former Kiwi RAKADEAKS (3) made an encouraging local debut when he led from a similar barrier and stuck on for a 1.4m second. Expect improvement on that so could be hard to catch this time. WILLS WAY (2) scored back-to-back wins here earlier in the campaign and could be getting back to that form having come from a wider barrier for third last start. Draws to play a role. MEMPHIS FURY (4) enjoys a class drop on the last attempt and the prior form was sound with back-to-back placings at Penrith. STAGECOACH (7) resumes and looks ready to put his best foot forward on the back of three nice trials, winning the latest.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following April 6 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a neck after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Canberra (2:12.90) beating Pencil Me In in NR up to 47 on May 5 at $10. This race will be harder than that win. This looks a far sterner test.
