Grsa.com.au (Pbd) Mixed Stake Pr2 Division2

Stake: $1,288

GRAND CHIEF (4) ran below his best last time finishing seventh (20.23) over 342m at Angle Park in a Best 8 race Best 8. Goes very well from this draw with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Has ability and can bounce back. OSPREY CHRONOS (1) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning a Grade 6 three back before a placing at Murray Bridge the following run. Has the ability and can find best this time. SHINY PISTOL (8) missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 3.5 lengths (16.78) last time at this track. Has a good record here including six wins. Expected to be in this for a long way. FERRERO GIRL (6) is worth a look over a shorter distance this time.

Missed the frame last start when a 5.5 lengths fifth (26.30) at Murray Bridge. Previous form sound including a win three back at Murray Bridge. Makes plenty of appeal on best and can easily atone here.
