GOING: G

Oldfield Memorial Rating 0 - 52 Handicap 1396m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: True.  

Fast tempo likely from Dylan's Lad going forward from out wide, with Limbering joining in. LIMBERING (5) was back to somewhere near her best last time when sent forward at Narrandera, only to be collared late. Right at home on dirt and looks overdue. Happy to stick. SACRED CHORD (7) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't quite being able to make a serious impression. Rates highly on best efforts and gets a good chance this time to break a long run of outs. SAZERAC (11) stuck on gamely behind Bywaters Road when resuming last time and deserves following up with that run under her belt. BYWATERS ROAD (4) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by a nose over 1400m at Hawker. Must be respected. MY CRACKLING (8) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third over 1200m at this track. Added trip suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Limbering gets the nod.
