GOING: S(5)

CANBERRA SOUTHERN CROSS CLUB TUGGERANONG CUP 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 4.26)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Mosgold taking charge. Tough. BELLEISTIC KIDS (2) races forward and has been well placed by Canberra's premier yard. Failed to come on at Warwick Farm two back, but the form around that reads well. Just missed in the $50,000 Albury Mile last time and has a sharp record at this track. Maps for a soft run, and Collett stays aboard. GHOST WALKER (8) failed to threaten in a CL3 over 1500m at Albury but had been tracking well into that. He went close in a CL3 at Randwick over this trip before the spell and tumbles in weight in this grade. That brings him right into it. HELL OF A FOX (5) has the ability but has been settling too far back from wide barriers. Draws a little better today, and no surprise if she improves. ACHESON (6) resumes further improved with a comfortable win at Goulburn over 1400m in a 66. Finished it off well, and he should manage the 1600m this time around. He also has plenty of eight relief and can make the finish with average luck. CHOP THE ICE (4) is third-up and in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Belleistic Kids appeals most.
