GOING: S

OSullivans Transport Elmore Cup 1600m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Altruist should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. Main race of the day and DIDN'T MISS MANY (10) will find this easier than recent assignments. The four-length fifth at Listed level two back looks pretty good form and while well held by Taken last start, that horse came out and won easily at Flemington last weekend. DEELING ACES (12) did nothing wrong in the first campaign and while well-held first-up this time in, she improved last start and the winner from that race has since won again. QUITE THE LASS (11) is another dropping in grade and would be ever better suited with a bit of extra sting out of the track. LIGHTNING EXPRESS (1) got back into the winner's stall last time out in 64 grade and can certainly go on with it. PROMISED LAND (6) should be nearing peak fitness and is advantaged by the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Didn't Miss Many each-way.
