Armidale Race 4 - Bishops Hardware / Guyra Bowling Club (Bm66)
POLYMER (4) may have a bit of an advantage over some of the main rivals by having had the run already. He came from back in the field there when odds on but it was too much of a task. The form prior to a break was excellent including a run in a Highway in town. DENIAL (1) keeps running similar races each time. He does have some weight to carry but this is easier than the last couple. BREUKELEN (5) kept improving throughout the first campaign. They tipped him out on a high and now returns off one trial. One of those wins came here. ENNIROC (2) can take a run to get going but draws a lovely barrier to launch late. TO BE FRANK (7) puts himself into the leading fray most times. Can be placed with luck.
