JOIN TAB RACING CLUB 2100m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 6m  

From the wide draw Lord Weyburn can cross and set up a solid tempo. KING OF THE NORTH (4) he is course proven. Wide draw in this but the 4yo can definitely cope. He has won on dry and wet conditions. Each-way in this all day. HIGH COUNTRY (8) has been five times placed here. Awkward draw once again. Quinella and trifecta chance still for bettors. LORD WEYBURN (5) is a multiple-class dropper in this line-up. Trifecta and first four must here. PROCELLA (6) is a class riser here. Drops 3kg on her last start win. Has won on dry and wet conditions as well. She is not out of this at all for your combinations. QUICK FIRE (7) was a last start wet track winner. Class riser here. Wide gate once again. Drops 2.5kg in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: King Of The North is a win wager.
