HILTON NICHOLAS STRAIGHT SIX
Results
- IT'SOURTIME (5) was a late scratching at Warrnambool but that may turn out to be a blessing. Fronts up now in an ideal race on his home track where his last win came. That was 553 days and 10 starts ago - which is some query - but he has put up plenty of handy form in the meantime and this may just be the day. The one he has to run down is BUFFALO RIVER (1) who made a smart one pull out all the stops to get him last time. He has to come back to 1200m now, a trip that he has never seen, but he has plenty of pace and it will be no shock to see him win it. D'JUMBUCK (4) is in outstanding form, winning three of his past four, including strong performances down the straight here. SHE'S ALL CLASS (2) has been good this campaign and measures up along with BARBIE'S FOX (6) who rattled home late last time and the straight can suit her.
