GOING: S(5)

TAB FEDERAL 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 4m 1000m-380m. True Remainder. (Pent: 4.1).  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward headed by Ready To Humble. Another competitive Federal. BALEDON (7) peaks off three near-misses at Albury on dry going. Stepped up to Open grade last time and has been kept on the fresh side. Doubt the inside gate is ideal but Lyon has been with him all preparation and can manage. Hard to beat. BON FRANKIE (9) is also busting to win but has the opposite problem - the outside gate. His effort at Moruya two back rates particularly well and stepping out to the mile won't bother. A player with average luck in the run. Expect quick improvement from the Dryden-trained TROOPER KNUCKLE (10) out to his pet trip. Maps for a soft run and winning rider Collett is reunited. She's been clocking up plenty of successes here and will give him every chance. INVERTATIONAL (11) has been within-range both starts back and has more to give. Has won this course/distance and is also a chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Baledon.
