RACE TEN
With his manners meaning his never at full confidence GREG THE GREAT (7) can be hard for punters to back with confidence also. Up to old tricks here on Tues when ending his chances with an early error, it had followed a strong closing 2nd to LAVROS TEXAS. Under these conditions, if he can trot cleanly, he can arrive.
NORTHERN MUSCLE (10) pressed ahead to find the breeze here last time out from this same impost over the 2647m trip. Fading late under the tough trip, he will be much better suited here back to the middle distance. Not too far away under mobile conditions 2 starts back, he will be in the fight.
GARLAND GREENE (12) did not want a bar of the mobile start last time out and after causing a false start then threw it away soon after in the re-take. Trialling since in sharp fashion, if he steps, he can challenge.
CASTLEREAGH (5) makes his Qld debut for Stephen Cini and arrives with a pair of recent Menangle victories, the latest when finishing strongly over the 2300m trip. Hitting the line strongly last start, he stays under notice.
