|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Newyork Missile, Grey Lad and Final Comment can set up a solid gallop. NEWYORK MISSILE (2) in career best form and better suited out to the 1800m. Stalked the good tempo when a fighting second over 1600m at Narrandera in a decent rating C3. Maps well with winning rider back aboard and expected to go close. BOY FROM TENNESSEE (9) mixing his form and doesn't have to improve much after running third over the mile at Narrandera. Sure to be hereabouts. GREY LAD (7) returned to winning form at Berrigan and stays in the calculations with the big drop in weight. Each way player. STAR EMPIRE (8) placed last start at Wagga stepping out to the mile. Stuck on there as if the rise to 1800m will suit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Newyork Missile in a tight contest.
