GOING: G(4)

Make a Wish Foundation Charity Golf Day - Friday 28th June Class 2 Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 0.5m 700m-275m. True Remainder.  

Slick tempo established by the fleet-footed trio Fastheartbeat and Smiling Zac. TIJUANA TWO STEP (10) didn't do much wrong in her first campaign with three wins and a second from just four starts and looks the galloper in this field with the most upside. Drawn to get a gun run from gate four and can return in winning fashion. MOOTESSA (8) got the job done over this track and trip when resuming and gets 4kg off with the claim. In the mix. RAOUL (1) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and looks one for the multiples. FASTHEARTBEAT (3) strips fitter second-up now and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tijuana Two Step to win.
