GOING: N

WESTERN SYRUPS PACE 2240m

Track: GOOD      

HUMOUR ME (6) started a hot favourite on debut at Geelong and was too good, pushing forward to find the front before going on to score by 3.3m. Draws wider but has plenty of upside so can go through her grades. SENNA STORM (11) made it two wins in a row when he led and dug deep to get home at Stawell last time. Tougher draw but winning from is hard to knock. JIMMY BREEZE (8) showed promise in winning two of four starts at the maiden campaign. Likely to have developed further with maturity and was readied with a trial. BLACKINDEED (2) can be competitive from the low draw.
