GOING: S

The Whalers Hotel BM70 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.96).  

Strong early pace with Adandiman driving across from their wide draw. JABBAWOCKEEZ (9) has had two runs back from a spell and made good improvement second up at Caulfield, beaten by the barest of margins over this trip. Should be ready to peak now and will be hard to hold out despite the wide draw. ELECTRIC IMPULSE (4) has a very strong record and ran well enough first-up at Bendigo when sticking on well for third. Fitter for that and looks nicely suited here. Can take a sit just behind the pace and will take beating. WORSFOLD (3) wasn't beaten that far first up at Caulfield and will strip fitter. Should be running on strongly. THE DEVIL IN HER (16) resumes having won dominantly first-up at Sandown-Hillside. A repeat of that would go close. PRESSER (6) can improve sharply off a poor first-up run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Jabbawockeez & Electric Impulse.
