GOING: S(5)

THANK YOU GCTC RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.86)  

Miley's Memory is expected to burn across and lead from the wide draw. VETOED (14) will need some luck from the draw, but she's shown good early speed in recent efforts in Country NSW where she hasn't been far away. The soft track plays into her hands nicely and if she can run up to her recent efforts, she'll be right in the finish. MOONSHINE RUN (7) comes into this without a public trial but turned in a couple of good performances in defeat last time out, particularly at Ipswich first-up. Has claims on those performances. HURRICANE HARLOW (15) is better than he showed last start at Beaudesert and can bounce back to form. MILEY'S MEMORY (11) was only caught late in a CL3 last start despite jumping a 30-1 chance. Rates highly and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vetoed on top.
