GOING: N

NUTRIEN EQUINE MARES BAND 5 PACE 1660m

Track: GOOD      

INDI AIR TONIGHT (3) found winning form last time out over 2138m at this track, leading and getting home by 2 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope again. ELEGANT GROOVES (2) drew a wide gate and worked last start when midfield at Tamworth. Tends to do her best work at this circuit and distance and from a good draw she is capable of a big performance. BONNIES DANCE (7) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish just over a metre away when third at this venue. BRADNESS JUNE (9) is worth some thought based on her victory from this row two back.
