GOING: H

Peter Ludwig (Bm64) 2000m

Track: HEAVY 8   Mostly Cloudy   Rail: True.  

BELAMBO will likely lead and can win following the strong Gawler Maiden win running a firm favourite. She will be better for that run at the rip and the claim is handy. FULMINEUS finally won his Maiden two back and then had no luck the latest. He looks the quinella. They will just hack along in this where the locally trained Belambo can lead. BELAMBO broke through for her maiden win last time at the provincials. Fitter again and on home track can go on with it. DUQUESSA is back in trip but well back in company. Was fourth in town latest which is good form for this despite the rise in weight. FULMINEUS won a highweight three back, was wide throughout the next start then did run well when fourth at Casterton on Monday. A repeat of that if he backs up here would see him run well again. IKURA is up in trip but should have gone close last start so has claims despite going up in weight and grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Belambo to win and the three picks could finish in order.
