GOING: G(3)

SAVE THE DATE 2025 CHARITY GOLF DAY 27TH JUNE Colts, Geldings & Entires RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 3     Rail: True.  

A strong tempo is assured with Yeah Copy and Bold As Brass leading the charge. A race with a stack of chances. YEAH COPY (4) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the emphatic Dalby win two back. Worth another chance. Former NSW galloper BEST COFFEE (6) is a last-start victor who draws favourably in gate two. Can go back-to-back. SURCOTE (11) bounced back to winning form at Kilcoy last start and rates a chance in this field. BOLD AS BRASS (2) won his maiden two back at Gold Coast then could only manage eighth last start over 1200m at Sunshine Coast. Can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 4,6,11,2.
