GOING: S

Wannon Pastoral Angus 0 - 56 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.57)  

Moderate tempo with Rippa Buddy leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. RIPPA BUDDY (4) was back on track leading and winning a 54 at Penola. He will be better for that and finally draws an inside barrier. Alana Kelly is booked and she will give him every chance. ANCHOR DOWN (1) settled back from an outside draw but found the line strongly beaten 3.5 lengths over 1462m at Kilmore. The step up to the mile suits and Yendall is a key jockey booking. He's fit and is feared. BOW RIBBON (3) has been close-up in his last four and has the winkers on again. Dropping back to the mile is likely to suit and he's a leading contender as well. ARTPARK (8) is better than the form line suggests. She has a decent barrier for a change, and we may see more from her stepping up to the mile. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Rippa Buddy.
