GOING: F

SUCCESS STUD SUPPORTING NSW RACING PACE 1609m

Track: FAST      

GUNNA RELOAD (1) takes on the boys but she is a talented filly aided by the inside draw. Has been freshened since her NSW Oaks failure and had a string of wins and placings prior including her Gold Bracelet success. She is three from five at this circuit and distance and should get every chance. SOHO THE REAL DEAL (3) has won second-up before so expect he'll be improved by his resuming effort when edged out by just a nose at this circuit and distance. Big chance aided by the good draw. COASTAL DRIVE (8) backs up after spanking his rivals on Tuesday. Draws deep but has been going well. PARTY CENTRAL (4) was good in a fresh win, taking his record at this distance to three from four. Could go on with it. PETES CRUNCH TIME (5) hasn't been far way of late so expect him to be competitive.
