GOING: G(4)

WALDRON'S FRESH ON RIVER IGA COROWA CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo with Sunroe and Oh No George leading the way over Freddy's Shock. UNDER THE HAT (8) showed good early speed last start over this journey at Albury before finishing second, beaten a nose. Nicely placed to go one better. WAMBEEN (13) continued a frustrating run for connections when a close second over this trip at Albury last time. Yet to win at this distance but has recorded two minor placings so he is high among the chances. WINGS OF CARMEN (7) has hit the line nicely in his last two and sets up well for this fourth-up. Can settle closer from the kinder draw this time. Don't take easy. BRUTAL BOWLER (1) makes her stable debut for Donna Scott and has found some form. In the mix. ERAANTYVA (2) and FREUD (9) continue to leave themselves with too much to do but can cause a late scare if the y overcook it in front. SUGGESTED PLAY: Under The Hat to win.
