GOING: F

GALLAGHER LITTLE RED JUG FRIDAY MAY 30 PACE 1720m

Track: FAST   Clear (Max: 20)    

PAD THAI (1) followed a fourth first-up two runs back with a distant ninth when he broke in a 1720m event at Penrith eight days ago. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Beautifully placed and he should turn things around. PHANTOM STAR (5) ran eighth last start at Bathurst over 1730m, beaten 24 metres. Will find this easier so could make an impact. CELEBRITY CRUISE (4) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 2060m at Forbes. ABSOLUTE WEAPON (2) is aided by a good draw so looking for a better showing.
