GOING: G

XXXX Broome Cup (Bm74+) 2200m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Expecting Block Of Land and In The Bag to press forward and set the tempo. BLOCK OF LAND (7) is racing in the best form of his career and chasing his fifth straight win today. Went straight to the front and gave nothing else a chance when slick 3.5 len win over today's trip at Roebourne on July 31. This his toughest test to date, but will take catching again. STOCKTAKA (13) relished the extra journey when battled on well for second over 2020m here on July 30. Has the early speed to come across from the barrier and sure to give a great sight. BLACKWATER BAY (3) is another who improved when up in trip for a fast finishing third over 2020m at this track. At his peak now and no surprise to see him closer in the run. BUTTERLEA LAD (4) is holding his form well and ran the 2020m of the Kimberley Cup right out when a tough winner here on July 30. Races well here and should have little trouble getting the extra trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,13,3,4.
