WORKSFORYOU SDRA EVERGREEN TURF CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW - CLASS 4 HCP 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +7m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Good early pressure with Canny Hell or County Kilkenny likely to take up the running. CAMBAR (7) is a progressive type who continues to impress for local trainer Gary Colvin. Gets the blinkers on first time and reunites with 1.5kg claimer in Durnan who is 2/2 when partnering on the home track. Expect his talent to shine through. BURRANDANA (1) returns and also has his share of ability. Will be looking for further in proceeding runs but this a good kick-off for the six-year-old, proving that last campaign when scoring over this trip off a long layoff. Main danger. BEER BARON (6) was thrown in the deep end last start when tackling the G3 Eskimo Prince. Targets a much more suitable assignment this time and was a barnstorming winner over this trip two back at Goulburn. Expect him to settle back early and be climbing over their backs late. DOLLY (10) hasn't done much wrong of late and is among the chances. Drops back to a sprinting trip off 3 weeks in between. Has to go up a rung or two but deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cambar to win.
