Goondiwindi Picks

BORDEAUX HOPPER Shannon Apthorpe a bonus, well placed. ALBION SQUARE on a seven day back-up and finished sixth last start at Aquis Park Gold Coast Poly, not without each-way claims. BEAN GROOVY back from let-up and generally strong first-up winning at Ipswich last attempt, could upset. DONMORE GIRL on a four day back-up and gets the blinkers back on, the real danger in the race.

CRAIGLEA LA VIE rates highly with Hannah Richardson back on board, serious player. ISLAND TIDE won three of nine as a favourite, dangerous. SUNIKI on a seven day back-up and placed last start at Warra, place chance. CHARGED back after 15 week break and placed in two of three at Goondiwindi before, chance to place.

This looks like a one act affair. FIELD OF MARS finished midfield last start at Warwick and gets the winkers back on, looks a sure thing. NIRVANA BEAUTY generally races near the speed, place best. ALMOST EVEN back from 17 week spell and likely to race on the speed, place only. TEDDY BEE BEAR finished in the middle of the pack last start at Toowoomba and likely to race on the speed, place claims.

Stand-out between the top two picks. DESHORENTE racing back from metro track, a close top selection. NO BETTER TIME won't be far away in the run, right in this. ALERT AND READY amongst the placegetters last start running second at Nanango and faces a rise in distance, still in this. RADEGAST came on to finish midfield last start at Nanango and gets the blinkers back on, don't treat lightly.

PICKO ROCKS winner of last two at Toowoomba and last start winner at Toowoomba, leading hope. BEAN DANCING bolted in last start at Goondiwindi and likely to race on the speed, cannot be ruled out. MISTA OMEGA 2 of four wins have come from dry ground, needs the breaks. SELLING SUNSET winner of 2.0 when second-up including a win at Toowoomba last go and ran fourth last start at Aquis Park Gold Coast Poly when first up, quinella.
