GOING: GOOD 4

Avis Car & Truck Rental (Bm58) 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.44).  

No noted leader but We Know So, D'oro Rain and Lady Cellarbration will be prominent. WE KNOW SO (6) got off the mark with maiden success at Kilmore with the same rider J Allen, leading throughout to score. Expected to go close again. D'ORO RAIN (7) scored an effortless win by 3 lengths last start at Yarra Valley. Figures good enough to suggest she can handle this. GRACIAS AMIGO (3) knuckled down strongly when finished 1.3 lengths from the winner at Pakenham. Looks tough to hold out again. HEROIC FIGHTER (1) bounced back to winning form at Pakenham Synthetic last start and rates a chance in this field. NORDIC PRIDE (8) made progress finishing midfield last start at Wodonga. Tackles a longer journey, looks suited and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: We Know So can go on with it.
