GOING: G

NORWEST CRANE HIRE HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Kentucky Blue leading the way. FELLAFROMDOWNUNDER (5) was too strong last start when winning by 0.3L over 1400m and she steps up to the mile now. She won off a similar set up last start and was placed at his only try over the mile previously. Can build on his good win last start. KENTUCKY BLUE (1) is knocking on the door of another win, just being gunned down late last start at Roebourne. While he hasn't won for a while, he continues to put up strong ratings and with his positive racing pattern, he'll give a bold sight once again. URBAN WARRIOR (6) won narrowly last start, beating home Kentucky Blue in the process as he scored narrowly. Up in weight today, but there's not reason why he can't repeat the dose. HEEZA BEAU (3) is better than he showed last start and won't be far away. UNI QUEEN (2) has winning claims off a strong win last week at Marble Bar. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Fellafromdownunder.
