NUTRIEN AG SUPPLIES STAKES 2200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 16)    

KNOCK OUT (1) made it two wins from his last three outings two weeks ago, getting home by 3 metres over 2200m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. On top. BETTABLACK TIGER (2) has been very good at both appearances this prep. Scored first up at this track, then finished 1.3 metres from the winner in second over 1680m at this track at the latest run nine days ago. Has the benefit of a good draw. Won't find this any harder, and he can take care of this line-up. MR BONDI (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at Hobart over 2090m. MONTGOMERY BURNS (3) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1680m at this track on May 2.
