---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of pace from Geostorm, Kotaishi and In The Nic Of Time matching motors ahead of Goofinator. HELL OF A FOX (3) has finished hard from the back, winning her last two, and was heavily backed the latest at the Sapphire Coast in this grade. Draws better this time and has a 2kg claimer aboard. The Pepper yard is flying, and the filly can go on with the job. MIDNIGHT LUNA (7) resumed with a CL1 win at Queanbeyan over this trip and will be better for the outing. She also benefits from a 2kg claim and fitter, is a chance to go on. IN THE NIC OF TIME (8) led and was a comfortable Maiden winner on the same day. He was also heavily bet and looks to have turned the corner. Has to skip across from a wide barrier, but Loy is a positive jockey booking. KOTAISHI (4) found the grade too rich at Hawkesbury, but brought good form to that. He also draws wide, but will be around the mark with average luck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Hell Of A Fox.
