Generally an even playing track, runners will likely come away from the inside lanes in the straight to the better going.

Race 1

ALL TOO MYSTI has been hitting the line strongly in recent runs but with little success. Despite her finishing positions, she is still rating well and is in good form, so the drop in grade here today in a much easier level looks likely to suit. Jake Toeroek takes the ride, who rides this Strathalbyn track well and will likely give her every chance.

(3) All Too Mysti
(6) Vaniteux
(1) Serinite Illusion
(4) Youraway

Suggested bet: (3) All Too Mysti (Win)

Race 5

FRANCE’S BOY is a veteran runner who always gives an honest effort and he looks every chance to get an overdue win here today with his race set-up. He is down in grade from previous runs, which puts him in here at a suitable level. From a low barrier, FRANCE’S BOY likely gets a favourable run on speed and has won his only other start over this track and distance previously, so he gets every chance for a breakthrough.
