GOING: S(7)

TEAM WEALLEANS 1600m Track: SOFT 7 Out 9.5m
The race pace looks not too bad at all in this Mile event. I AM GROOT (1) is a local and won his Maiden very well here at home. Has many more wins in store and this looks a soft kill too for the 3yo. CANDYCANE (7) has been not too bad at all this time in. Well drawn. Win chance here on dry or wet footing. ASTERIAL (11) she has run well so far this time in. Won her Maiden here third up. Wide draw but gets a 3kg claim. Include everywhere. RANGER (3) is a partial class riser here. Course proven. Drawn out but still include in all of your multiples today. HOARD THE BOURBON (6) has been course proven. A 3kg claim today helps. Has won on dry and wet. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Am Groot is a win wager.
