GOING: G(4)

RACING AGAIN FRIDAY 26 JULY Class 3 Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.01).  

Hot early with Terminus, Just Frank and Ice Skater matching motors. TERMINUS (11) led here on resumption and was run over late over 1300m. The former Victorian has been kept on the fresh side and is proven second-up. He wins this at best and a top hoop is booked. Each way. GROWL (4) is a former Sydney galloper who was much better second-up. He's also got plenty up his sleeve and maps for a soft run. Quick improvement is likely. SET THE SAILS (8) resumes and brings strong form from Victoria. Goes fresh and draws the rail. Has been away for a long time but has trialled well and has to be kept very safe. PRIVATE CHEETAH (2) is third-up and can show more. Butler is a positive jockey switch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Terminus each way.
