GOING:

TAB VENUE MODE PACE 1720m

Track: GOOD      

DOUBLE IT HARRY (9) finished third last start, beaten 11 metres at Newcastle over 2030m. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. It doesn't get any easier, but he is capable of a big performance. KASBAH (1) finished second last start, beaten a neck, in a far better performance at Newcastle over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder, and he can go one better without surprising. ZEN MASTER (6) cops a tough gate but is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2 metres at this track over 1720m. THERES WALLY (4) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1609m at Menangle two runs ago. Go again.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fourth behind Bettine at this track over 1720m NR up to 52 last start. Before that was beaten a neck second again at this track over 2125m same class on May 29. One of the likely contenders.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Montefiore at Menangle over 1609m in a NR 56 to 60 on May 20 at $9. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Yesnomaybeso at Newcastle over 2030m in a NR up to 57 on May 30 at $2.25. Heading the right way and is a leading player.
