GOING: N

BARASTOC FEEDS PACE 1850m

Track: GOOD      

SUNNY COVE (2) has been on the money a lot of late and went close again last time over 1780m at Redcliffe, finishing second and 2.25 metres from the winner. Has the benefit of a good draw. Tackles a similar assignment, and he can bounce back to winning ways. WILLIEWA LIGHTNING (5) finished fourth last time out, beaten 4 metres, in a far better performance at Redcliffe over 2040m. Finds a suitable assignment and will be a major force once more. CRIME TIME (6) disappointed last time when eighth over 1780m at Redcliffe. Can bounce back. COULD IT BE ME (1) has the good draw and must be considered after he finished third over 1780m at Redcliffe a week ago.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Royal Winkle at Redcliffe over 1780m in a NR up to 40 on May 15 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Ebony Belle at Redcliffe over 1780m in a NR up to 39 on May 19 at $3.50. Big chance again.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr3) over 1780m at Redcliffe, beaten 16 m by Our Dolly (2:12.20) in NR up to 40 on May 29 at $13.

Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best form.
