GOING: S(6)

COMMUNITY BANK - BIG DANCE ELIGIBILITY NARRANDERA SHOWCASE CUP 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

Copperfield should kick up and set a genuine tempo joined by Just Go Bang pressing on from the wide draw. PRINCE OF HELENA (3) is shooting for a bit of history having won this race the past two years. Had a similar build up to a year ago and not badly in with the 60kg. Should get a nice run and his chance to do it again. HOT BANDIT (4) is in good form with a Warwick Farm placing last time out and with the claim he has a nice weight advantage. Can run well. ZOUATICA (2) returned to his best form when allowed to run at Rosehill last time and almost held off Thunderlips. That's good form if he can repeat the performance. COPPERFIELD (8) has been working his way through the grades and a mile suits while LOUIE'S LEGACY (9) has a show. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Of Helena to win. Save on Hot Bandit.
