RACING240 FM 86 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: AW      

Anticipating a solid tempo over the mile. FAMILY POWER (1) was in great form before a break and goes well course and distance. Winning rider aboard and looks a top chance fresh. EXQUISITE (2) is a lightly raced galloper who was having first try here before a break and scored. Expected to run well. WHITE WATERS (6) is racing well with wins last two and nicely weighted in this. Has good early pace and will take catching again. ROYAL CITY GIRL (3) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 2000m at this track, clocking in 1.1 lengths from the winner. Generally goes well here with a win and three minor placings from six tries. One of the key contenders.
