Good pace from Not Mee, Tommy Flyer and Brogans Creek going forward.
Plenty of chances. Settled on last start debut winner LET UP (9) who showed good natural pace over 1200m at this track then did it at both ends. Should have no trouble with an extra 200m so worth following. TOMMY FLYER (1) has been without a win for a while. Did a lot of work after a poor start then just battled away to finish midfield last time out over this distance at Gundagai. Should enjoy an economical run out of the inside barrier. Capable of mixing it with these if he brings his best. KEN'KER (4) led and gave a great sight but found a couple better close to home over 1200m at Quirindi recently. Three-time winner at this distance. Should give a great sight again. MRS BULL (7) caught the eye over 1300m here last start. Not a prolific winner but has placed at 11 of 18 over this trip. Good each-way play. ROONAMI (8) scored over today's journey at Narrandera two back. In contention if she recaptures that form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Let Up each-way in a testing race for punters.
