GOING: G

GARRARDS HORSE & HOUND PACE 2138m

Track: GOOD      

EAGLESPRIDE (12) finished seventh last start, beaten 5 metres at this track over 2138m. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can get the job done. SPORTY ZARA (6) turned in a much better run last start when she scored by 1.75 metres over 2138m at this track. Meets a comparable field but contends with a tougher draw. Can win with the right luck. FIGHT TO THE END (8) must be considered after he finished third over 2138m at this track a week ago. Gets the soft draw that he has been looking for. JUST A COOL DUDE (5) was out of the money two runs ago then overcame a break to get the prize by 3 metres over 1660m at this track a week ago. Live chance again in a similar assignment.
