GOING: G(4)

KOORINGAL STUD TOWN PLATE PRELUDE 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: +4m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Expecting a strong pace headed by Doogan's Design, Iron Will and Arthur The Great. ARTHUR THE GREAT (7) didn't give his rivals a sniff last start when leading pillar-to-post here. Meets a stronger field but he is worth serious consideration. PANIC (4) is a Listed winner making his stable debut for Matthew Kelley off a 39-day break. Winkers come off as he drops in trip off short freshen. Might prove a class above. LOVE SHUCK (3) finished a narrow second last time over 1000m at Canberra when resuming from a spell. Will trim down second-up. Has raced three times at this course and distance and is yet to be beaten. In the right race and is worth serious consideration. KEIKOKU (12) rocketed home to just miss the winner las start at Gundagai. Drawn out again but is on the quick back-up and can get the job done. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Arthur The Great.
