2:15am - TAB COBCROFT TRUST HIGHWAY HANDICAP | 1000m | | i

The track has dried to a SOFT 7 following some windy conditions and there's a 25-35 m/h N-NE wind forecast today. We're forecasting a pretty FAIR bias given the inside ground has been protected in the last few weeks, horse may be suited running on with cover given the headwind in the straight. Starting with a Highway, the speedy GENERAL SCARLET and FEEL THE KNIGHT coming across to get on-pace with MAGIC SCENT kicking up (tempo: FAIR to STRONG). Hard not to like FEEL THE KNIGHT fresh here off a brilliant trial beating two horses that have since won, he's the one to beat if he handles the conditions and the wind is no issue. DEVIATE coming off a couple of nice trials and has some big ratings to his name on wet down in the weights. GENERAL SCARLET on-pace and MAROKAWA (gets back, unlucky last start) next best.
