GOING: FM(2)

ARGYLE ENGINEERING KUNUNURRA CUP 1800m

Track: FIRM 2     Rail: True.  

Moderate tempo with Faberge Tzar leading the way. FABERGE TZAR (3) has really found his best form lines. He led and bolted in with the lead up race in a small field. Naturally this will be more competitive in the Kununurra Cup but he gained so much confidence from that. ALOTTA DANE (5) can't have his form knocked. He will be sitting back in the field and looking to have last look at them. Clearly going well. HIDE THE OREOS (2) is another chasing three on the bounce. Does go up a long way in trip but doing little wrong. PRINCESS PANCAKES (8) is racing on a course she enjoys. Place looks best as it does for HOLSTEIN (1) who has been a long way off them of late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Faberge Tzar in a tight race.
