GOING: S(5)

WAUCHOPE RSL CLUB WAUCHOPE CUP 1512m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Inferencia to take charge ahead of Russian Roni at a strong tempo. A POUND OF SALT (10) undefeated on his home track and carries the big weights well. Kept safe in betting when a commanding winner over 1200m at Randwick in Highway company. Trip suits and can finish over the top of these. RUSSIAN RONI (1) earlier efforts in Queensland were sound, before returning from a let up with a fading twelfth over 1600m at Gunnedah. Strips fitter with the claim and can hold a forward position. Keep safe. POINT COUNTERPOINT (2) near his top now and his last couple of runs have been better than they appear. Bullock on for this and will be surging late. Each way. TOUCH OF NAVY (6) lacking consistency this prep and anywhere near his best could see him return to form. One for the exotics. ANNULUS (9) ready for this trip now fifth up after making good ground late when third over 1250m at Taree. In peak condition and can surprise. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,1,2,6.
