GOING: S

Fred Vella Tyre & Crash Repairs Rating 0-58 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: Out 7m 1200m Chute. Out 10m Remainder. (Pent: 5.35).  

Solid tempo likely from the outset with Make It A Double and Covered Call prominent. ROCKBARTON ROAD (6) knuckled down gamely in the lane to pay the punters last start at Gawler. Drops back in trip on the quick turnaround and can repeat the dose. FIAMETTE (14) continues to hit the line nicely without making any major impact. Kept fresh for this with 35 days between runs and gets some slight weight relief. No surprise to see her feature this time. GETOUTTHEWAY (15) was only warming to his task last start at Gawler when beaten 1.5L in sixth. Fitter again and is expected to be climbing over the backs at the business end. COVERED CALL (3) should be further improved third-up and gets in well at the weights again with the 3kg claimer engaged. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rockbarton Road to win again.
