GOING: S(5)

Coopers Brewery Barry Brook Hills Community Cup Rating 0-62 Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Off the low draw Hard Leaf is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. SILVER LIFESTYLE (2) finished third two runs back at Strathalbyn then improved last time out to score by a nose here. Is open to further improvement and is capable of another big performance. THE BACK PAGE (5) comes through some strong form races. Has been left with too much to do from wide gates but now gets the chance to settle closer from a middle draw. Drops back in trip off a freshen and can play a major role. VERCELLI (13) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing fifth last time out in time. Peaking now and should be making her presence felt. THERE GOES MY HERO (3) hasn't broken through for a long time but is knocking on the door. Backs up quickly and doesn't need to improve much to get the job done. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silver Lifestyle gets the nod.
