CNC ROUTER BITS 3YO TROT 2240m

Track: GOOD      

REY BAILANDO (6) comes here fresh from a second in a Group Two feature won by Enchauffour six-and-a-half months ago over 2240m at this track. Sure to prove hard to beat. MISS OHANA (1) will appreciate the step back from Group One level after finishing third at her latest appearance over 2300m at Menangle, beaten 14 metres by Gatesys Gem. Tough to beat from an ideal draw. JUST AS I AM (2) ended last prep with a win at Cobram over 1670m five months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. IRON WOMEN (10) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 5 metres at Maryborough over 2190m. Go again.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Gatesys Gem at Menangle over 2300m in a 3yo G1 No NR F on May 10 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Gatesys Gem at Menangle over 2300m in a 3yo G1 No NR on May 17 at $101. Will be right in the thick of things.
