GOING: S(6)

XXXX CLASS 3 HANDICAP 1250m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Speed assured from All Too Rosey, Full Regalia and Spandex pressing on ahead of Lune D'excellence. LUNE D'EXCELLENCE (8) bounced straight back to form last time on a wet Muswellbrook track, way too strong for her rivals late. Loves this trip and when a dominant maiden winner here three back to shed her maiden tag. Airborne. FULL REGALIA (6) returns and has run well fresh without winning. Worked through his grades nicely last campaign and has been readied with a handy Tuncurry trial win. Draws well and should be making his presence felt. SAVVYROCKER (4) rarely finishes too far away and is doing enough to be competitive again, though she will need some luck from the car park draw. Expect her to drift back and be saved for the final shot at them. SPANDEX (7) drops back to a sprinting trip and gets weight off. Not without his chance this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lune D'Excellence to win.

Backs up quickly. Warmed to his task nicely three days ago at Newcastle when working home strongly into a midfield finish, only beaten 2.4 len in seventh. Gets a key booking in Bullock, who has scored three times when partnering. Will find this much easier and should give this a big shake.
