GOING: S(7)

Weirs IGA Donald 0 - 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.76)  

Solid tempo headed by Gusty Way and Royal Inference. GUSTY WAY (2) was quickly back on track beaten 1L at Casterton. He's a consistent galloper well placed to go one better. SHE FLYS (11) resumes after switching from the Hayes yard with Hurdle booked and would be a chance if presented forward. She has placed fresh and has two jumpouts under the saddle and the tongue tie on for the first time. SURFY PETE (5) was back to his best beaten a nose at Warracknabeal. Surprised but would be in the finish holding that form. BUDJIK BOY (6) will be sharper second up and has plenty in the tank. May need longer now but has to be kept safe. ROYAL INFERENCE (4) led and won his Maiden first up over this trip and showed enough to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Gusty Way.
