CLUB MENANGLE WARATAH HEAT 1609m

Track: FAST   Rain (Max: 14)    

ONETANGI GIRL (3) came from the back row when fourth last time but was impressive at this circuit two back, leading from a similar draw to this and cruising home by close to 15m. Can return to winning form. GROSSO NASO (2) drew on the back row and had to work to find the front before sticking on for fourth last start. Better served by this draw and was racing consistently earlier in the campaign. ANNIE CROCKER (8) came from this row to score at Narrabri last month and has been runner-up in both starts here since, the latest from this barrier. Contender. CHEDDAR VALLEY (1) can play role from the inside draw.
