GOING: H(8)

Wimmera Roadways Apsley Cup 2000m

Track: Heavy 8   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.30)  

They look to roll along early with Whistle Down and I Catchem Fox leading the charge. Onto our feature of the day. MIRACLE SPIN (3) found form quickly second up at Caulfield Heath with a narrow victory at big odds. His best in a past life would win this and he can go on with it. ANY LUCK (1) won the Warrnambool Cup two back which reads outstandingly well but couldn't back it up last time and has a big weight and tough map. SAVATOFF (6) doesn't win many but can figure in the placings. I CATCHEM FOX (2) is stepping out at this course for the first time. Last appeared when he scored over 1600m at Murray Bridge on May 23. Key runner. WHISTLE DOWN (8) sparingly raced galloper who improved at second run from a spell at Pakenham when sixth over 1600m. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miracle Spin each-way.
