GOING: S(7)

DUNSTAN HORSE FEED 1650m

Track: SOFT 7     Out 3m from WP to 320m cutaway rail, remainder True  

From the wide gate Billy Boy should cross and lead. BRUNO (2) set the pace and did not offer much when headed after staying near the fence at Hawera nearly 2 weeks ago. He drops back to a mile, but will improve off that run, and in this field, he can figure in the top 3. OUR LADY BROOKE (3) is a consistent mare resuming from a spell, and she usually needs a run. She is at her best on a heavy track, and any market support will be worth following. Each-way. FASHION SAVVY (8) should be spot on with her fitness third up from a spell, and having Lisa Allpress in the saddle is a positive. Include in all top 4 combos. CRAFTY COLIN (4) has hit the line strongly in each of his 2 most recent runs and if he can settle a tad closer from a superior gate, then he could have the last say here. BILLY BOY (1) is a top hurdler back on the flat, and on a heavy track at this level, he can't be taken lightly. Stick with him. HE'S ALL FABULOUS (9) will be close to his peak fitness, and dropping back to this trip will suit him. Don't risk him. SUGGESTED PLAY: He's All Fabulous each-way value.
