GOING: H(9)

AVIS RIVERINA SHOWCASE IAN REID SPRINT OPEN HCP 1200m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: +5m 1400m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

Namarari to take charge ahead of Mojo Music at a good tempo. CANNY HELL (1) resumes and brings strong credentials, last seen boxing on well in the Wagga Town Plate in May. Possesses a clear class edge and has been readied with a nice trial at home. Expect him to take plenty of catching. MANSIERE (4) was below his best in three runs this prep but has since been freshened and given a trial. Capable of sharp improvement. CHOICE WITNESS (5) boasts a dominant win here three runs ago and is a strong finisher when the tempo is on. Needs luck from the back but has a knockout chance. JUST GOOGLE ME (11) maps awkwardly but could bob up in the minors at odds. Worth consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Canny Hell to win.
