GOING: S(5)

GREAT NORTHERN BREWING CO RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +2m 1000m-W/Post; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.89)  

Moderate tempo with Breeches leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. BREECHES (7) has been right there in all three outings this preparation and this is not an overly strong affair. Is one from one over this course and distance and looks nicely placed to take this out. FONEELEVEN (6) has only missed the top-five once in seven career efforts and looks to have a bit of upside. Likely improver who is worth including in calculations. Former NSW galloper WILLINGALE (5) will be ready to peak now third run for the new stable and should find this easier than what she faced down south. Top-three credentials. STORM CAPITAL (2) has only missed a drum once in five spins around this circuit and may run a big race while fresh. GALBALAN (1) rounds out the selections from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Breeches.
