GOING: G

Whisky, Wine & Fire Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Moderate tempo with Excess looking to take it up. TOGETHERFOREVER (10) was a dominant maiden winner when last seen at Ballarat, charging past her rivals to win by nearly 4 lengths as a $1.30 favourite. She's always shown promise and can measure right up now. MEETMEIN MELBOURNE (8) looks far better suited back to 1000m having struggled over further last time. The first-up run reads well and she maps well. JEWEL BAY (2) resumes. He was running in some strong races last time in, running third in a good 3yo race at Cranbourne before a spell. He's got a good record over this trip and can run well fresh. CALICO JACK (1) resumes. He's a handy horse on his day who is right up to these but may want a touch further. EXCESS (9) drops sharply in class and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Togetherforever to win.
