GOING: G

O'BRIEN ELECTRICAL PACE 2180m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 10)    

SCHEMING (7) has been going around against stronger opposition and has been far from disgraced when beaten about 6m in her last two appearances at Melton. Has to contend with a wide draw but looks nicely placed in this line-up. NORMS LADY (6) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months but goes well fresh and looks to be right up to the mark after placing in two recent trials. Proven here so looking for a good return. FERRIGNO (10) has been racing well from this row, scoring two back at Cranbourne before chasing a handy one for fourth at Melton last time out. WATTLEBANK ARNIE (4) has a decent record at this distance so respect.
