GOING: H(9)

COUNTRY MUSIC RACEDAY ON SALE NOW Class 2 Handicap 1300m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 9m Entire. (Pent: 5.95).  

Ponca may be the one to lead. BATTLEFIELD (4) switched from a NSW barn and did a good job here first-up beaten 1.3L. Maps for a soft run and has 3kg weight relief at this level. Fitter and has more to give. He should get all the favours and is left the one to beat. PONCA (8) peaks for the premier barn and is going well enough. Will carry a feather with the 3kg claim and the gate is manageable after scratchings. BILLIONAIR BABY (2) resumed in a 68 at Doomben with good support but didn't finish it off (vet cleared). He has plenty up his sleeve and draws well. In the mix. NOBLE BEAUTY (11) resumes for a sharp metro barn and owns a Deagon trial win. His figures in NSW early doors would see him very competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Battlefield.
