GOING: G

ANDREW BRUHN SHEETMETAL PACE 1780m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 21)    

ALWAYS DANCING (6) made it back-to-back wins at this circuit when he came from the back row and worked but proved too good by 6.4m. Owns a strong record at this distance and has only once been beaten in five starts here. Take beating. WE FAVOUR ROSIE (4) turned in a much better effort when second up last time out, finishing second at this venue. With further progress likely she could strike. GOLD IN PARIS (3) is suited returning to a venue where she is yet to miss a place including a win in her last visit two back. HEAVY METAL HAMMER (2) is consistent and draws to play a role again.
