Book into the Country Cup Marquee Longford Cup day BM64 Hcp 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 4.69)  

Stars In The Night is expected to lead at a slick tempo. Tricky. BAYSIDE (2) is lightly raced, and this is winnable if he's presented on song. His recent trial placing suggests he will be, and he won his only fresh outing. Impressed at Hobart when last seen, and the 2kg claimer can use the inside barrier to advantage. STARS IN THE NIGHT (3) was straight back into the winner's stall, leading and winning a 60 this track/trip. With the 3kg claim, she's well-placed to repeat. WITHIN SIGHT (5) was plain at Hobart, but his CL2 win here prior was good. Draws low today and will get every chance to bounce. WARICA (4) mixes the form, but has the ability. Carries 3kg less today, and the 1200m may suit better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bayside appeals most.
