GOING: G(3)

Hertz Class 1 Handicap 1300m Track: GOOD 3 Clear (Max: 24) Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.29).
Co Co Van Winkle and Snappy Pierro should lock horns early at a strong tempo. CO CO VAN WINKLE (9) broke through for a deserved maiden win at Benalla 2 starts back and then fought on strongly as favourite in her post-maiden run at Pakenham just over 3 weeks ago, finishing fourth. She has a better draw this time and more importantly, has 4.5 kilos less to carry. Stick with her. Follow your money. SNAPPY PIERRO (10) led early and kept on going when scoring an overdue victory at Kyneton last time out. He has continued to improve this prep and should now go right on with the job. WAR MACHINE (1) made the most of an inside draw when resuming with a win at Kyneton and has the scope to take the next step immediately. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Co Co Van Winkle to win.
