GOING: S(7)

M&S PRINT WAUCHOPE SPRINT 1010m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Lots of speed predominantly from The Wolf, What A Rush and Shall Be. Tough race. VIERVILLE (9) slow into stride when he failed to make it three-straight wins with a disappointing eighth over 1000m at Gunnedah in a fast run contest. Leading apprentice goes on and can bounce back quickly. SARATOGA POWER (3) sat on the speed on the quick back-up with a tough victory over this journey at Muswellbrook. Best form is over this trip and will take catching from the inside gate. TELEGRAPH (10) tough old sprinter with a good record at this course and distance. Anchored with the 62.5kg when a tiring sixth over 1000m at this track. One of the leading hopes with the 7.5kg weight turnaround. SHALL BE (2) resumed in a high rating race with a tiring ninth to Couples Retreat over 1100m at Rosehill. Second up record is very strong and the claim helps. SUMO FISH (6) resumes from a lengthy break with an excellent record at this track. Fitted with the one trial and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,3,10,2.
