GOING: H(9)

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 4m 1800m - 500m, Out 7m Remainder.  

From wide out Winston can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. Tricky staying race. WOLFOFFITROYSTREET (6) broke through for a narrow maiden win at Ballarat Synthetic at the seventh time of asking and had been sharply up in trip there, clearly relishing the stamina test. Up further now should suit better and he can go on with it. WINSTON (3) continues to race well but finds it tough to win, third here last time out in a near identical affair. He'll roll across and take catching again. BATOKA CHIEF (7) can mix form a bit but was good in town last time behind Shultzy which is solid form for this. Tricky draw but look for him late. HAALAND (1) has been sound in three runs back and has each way claims, also respecting THUNDERBOLT WAY (5) who was somewhat of a surprise winner here last time but goes in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wolfoffitroystreet to win.
