GOING: G

Caros Creative Crew BM72 Hcp 1150m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Thoros Of Myr, Lovin' Bev and Bold Instinct to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. LADY GALADRIEL (4) had been threatening a win and got the job done from the pace in a 66 at Launceston as a $3.2F. Has the inside gate today and keeps the top hoop. Has here first try on the synthetic but is well placed to go back-to-back. Stablemate THOROS OF MYR (1) led well supported in a 76 at Launceston first up and looked a run short. Has won 2/3 second-up and is a leader drawn low. Flies this course and distance, and with the handy 2kg claim in easier looks the threat. ADACHI (6) resumed in the Lady Galadriel race, beaten 2.4L. She maps well and has more to give. In the mix. BOLD INSTINCT (3) keeps racing well, and the 3kg claim brings him into it. WHIPPIN PICCADILLY (5) nest best off a solid placing here. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Lady Galadriel
