GOING: S(6)

CORNERSTONE RISK GROUP Class 3 Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: True.  

In a small field either Mississippi Morn or Tara I Am will find the front. SILVER HAMMER (3) won two on end then drew poorly last time and was back and wide throughout without threatening. Much better gate this time and gets a chance to atone. TARA I AM (10) is a progressive filly who got off the mark in her first campaign then returned with a solid third at Rocky in the latest. Fitter for it and will find this easier. Worth following up. REBELIOUS RED (4) was disappointing last time but ran well here a few starts back when raced on speed and fought on for a placing. Has claims on that effort. REIGNING ALPHA (5) is a former Toowoomba galloper having first run for the new yard. Form is better than it looks and worth watching closely in his first try in this area. AMBERINGER (6) is drawn for a soft run on the inside and among the chances while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Silver Hammer.
