GOING: FM(2)

BRUCE AVERY TRANSPORT HANDICAP 1600m

Track: FIRM 2     Rail: True.  

Rebellious Hope to find the front in the small field. CHEDDAR BOB (2) did win pretty comprehensively coming off fair form lines. That should be a good sign because he was favourite there. Just has to run out the distance strongly. THE GIRL'S BOY (1) never gets beaten far even after giving away big starts. You would have to think that the mile is not going to be a problem. He has won eight races. THE ACCELATOR (3) can be a bit inconsistent but showed his best was good enough a fortnight ago. COUSIN NICCI (4) gets some important gear changes for this. Does need something for a lift. I'M A DREAMER (6) best of the rest but the placings look the best option. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cheddar Bob can do it once more. The Girl's Boy the saver.
