Lamanna Prem. Grp. Banana Cup 1800m Track: SOFT 5 Rail: True Entire Course. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Solid pace from Margie Bee booting up from the rails draw to pressure the speedy Salesman. STAR STATUS (3) found one better at Townsville seeking the hat-trick. He has a stack of weight relief but rates to take beating with average luck from the awkward barrier. FAST TRAIN (11) found his best form winning the 65 comfortably at Townsville. Better for that and may sit handier today. Whiteley sticking is a plus. NEW KING (7) was beaten 1L at Cairns at 1400m showing his best form since transferring from the Matt Dale barn in Canberra. He's performed in town and has won this distance range. Has a wide gate but is worth a look. MARGIE BEE (6) will use the rail. Has been racing in better company and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Star Status.
