GOING: S(5)

TYRE TORQUE NAROOMA CUP 1300m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Funky Little Shack is expected to burn across and lead from the wide gate. DUMEBI (11) first run for the Beer & Carpenter team on resumption when he attacked the line for a solid third over 1250m at Newcastle. Back in fine fettle and expect to see him hold a position from the draw. Leading player. HELLINDA (13) drops significantly in weight today with the claim after finishing a narrow second over 1000m at the Sapphire Coast. Can overcome the draw and stake his claim. LAMBAY (10) disappointed as the ($1.80 fav) in the hot conditions when fifth over 1200m at Mudgee. Enjoys a drop in grade and can make amends. ICONIC TREASURE (7) chipped away late at his second run back when sixth over 1200m at Warwick Farm in a solid BM72. Doesn't have to improve much to take a hand in the finish. YOUR NOT THE BOSS (14) is a tough gelding who can sprint well fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Trifecta 11,13,10,7,14.
