WINTER COUNTRY CHAMP 1200 FINAL CLASS 4 1200m Track: GOOD Clouds (Max: 13) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Lots of speed predominantly from All About Al, Sooty and Mighty Mac. SOOTY (2) ran a good race when third here over this trip last time out. He was unlucky not to have won that day as he was held up for a run at a vital stage. He likes it here and should be hard to beat. GREAT CAT (5) ran on powerfully when winning her last start here over this distance. She returns from a 14-week break which may have done her the world of good. If not in need of the run, she should be right in the finish again. SHIFTING PATH (9) was a strong last-start winner over 1100m on this course. He is up in class, but is in a good space and should be up to the task at hand. Watch for him late. LUNCH MONEY (12) showed signs of needing his last start here over this distance. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Each way value.
