Gorski Engineering

Prize Money: $3,360

GOLD TAG (5) was a strong winner (19.26) from box 3 last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths at this track. Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Well placed and will be tough to beat. RATTLIN' BONES (2) clocked a handy 16.54 finishing second in a Grade 4/5 at this track last start. This is tougher but expected to be in the finish. DARING BANDIT (3) hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 350m at this track in 19.21. Expecting another bold showing. FLAMING FOX (1) was below best last time at this track (19.73) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 5.5 lengths seventh. Has four wins already from this draw.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 19.46 over 350m at this track. Has a blistering 19.2 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.47) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 8 length sixth. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minors. Looks a place chance at best.
