GOING: F

MULTIQUIP AGGREGATES PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD      

RED REACTOR (4) is racing well and has the hoof on the till after coming from wide barriers for second in his last two outings at this circuit, last time beaten only 2m. The lower draw gives him the chance to break through. JILLIBY FABIO (9) has been a beaten favourite in both starts since winning at this circuit and distance last month but there was merit in the latest performance when he led and stuck on to go under by 3nm. His best form would measure right up. MR TEDDY (6) was solid when fourth at Goulburn last start to follow a win at Penrith. Can play a role. The ace draw can see LUKE JOHN (1) competitive.
