GOING: G(4)

TWIN CITY TRUCK CENTRE CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 31)   Rail: +5m 1200m - 350m, Cutaway Applies, True Remainder.  

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by High Country Star and Platinum Executive. Tough contest with plenty of chances. PLEASE ME DO (10) ploughed through the heavy going when a narrow winner over 1300m at Wangaratta with Hannah Le Blanc aboard. Gets some weight relief and will relish the tempo. WATOTO (5) holding his form and due for a change of luck. Went back from the awkward gate and returned solid closing splits when fourth over this journey at Gundagai. Gets a better set-up for this with the blinkers coming off. No surprise to see him return to winning form. GO COMMANDO (7) impressed on debut in the small field when he rounded them up effortlessly over 1175m at this track. Will appreciate the extra ground and gets his chance from the draw. DOUBTFREE (14) unlucky not to have a few more wins on his CV and stretches out to his right distance range today. Strong through the line when third over 1180m at Gundagai. Well placed from the draw and shapes as the value in the race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,5,7,14.

First-up favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.2 len at Goulburn Ctry Mdn-Sw October 16 over 1200m defeating Sacred Inferno with 59kg at $2.25. Second run from a spell rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 at Nowra Ctry Bm58 on November 2 over 1400m, slow going nose behind Rocco Lini with 60.5kg at $1.65. Hard to fault in this rich vein of form.
