GOING: GOOD 4

Over The Line Racing Hcp (C3) 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 31)   Rail: Out 4m 90mn-275m; Out 2m Remainder.  

Genuine tempo primarily set by Fenerbache and Thiswilldous. RICH AND SHAMELESS (2) is busting to win and there was only a nose in it the latest in stronger grade. He rates strongly and the mile shouldn't bother on the 7-day return. ELLEBEEDEE (7) also rates up to this and deserved the 58 win here up to the mile. The wide gate is the query. VELARO (4) didn't have much luck in much better grade in town The two starts before read well and he's a player with a good ride. FENERBACHE (8) won well at Gunnedah as favourite and then was plain on the slow as favourite. May be worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Rich And Shameless.

Big chance again following a confidence-boosting win last time out.

Was denied victory by a skinny margin last start and is well-placed to take this out.
