GOING: S

Winter Blues At The Races 0-58 Handicap 1100m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.58)  

Expecting a strong tempo with The Last Judgement, Destiny's Prophet and Kool Kat going forward ahead of More Importance and Nineveh. WAREO ROAD (1) won a trial and resumed with a near miss at Swan Hill. He'd brought strong form to that and is further improved. Has the inside gate and Coffey is a key jockey engagement. Go close. BEFORE THE WAR (5) brings a string of close-up placings and missed a nose her last time in a 52 heavily bet. He will get back, but has weight relief and will finish hard. THE LAST JUDGEMENT (8) turned the form around beaten 1L here this grade. Maps for the run of the race and will be right in it if he holds the form. MAHJING (16) resumed here and found a place. He could be back on track and will be around the mark if he is. BRENLYN'S TROOPER (3) needs to find a bit more but he won't be far away as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Wareo Road.
