GOING: G

Briseis Club (Bm58) 1000m

Track: ALLWEATHER   Rain Early    

Plenty who can take up handy positions. Rudy's Friend looks like being prominent and Indian Force can be up there. Royal Enigma will be among the leaders with Indian Force, Jacoman and French Flame all capable of pushing forward. JACOMAN was a winner here first-up and gave a good sight last time when run down late at Pakenham. In well with the claim and sure to run a good race. ROYAL ENIGMA is fitter for one run back where he was just nabbed close to the line after leading. Good record second-up and will be giving a good sight. INDIAN FORCE comes off another break and she wasn't disgraced at Terang back in February. Has been fairly consistent in her last few preps and is in the mix again. Felicette can't be left out of the chances in this sort of race and Wee Mac is a similar case. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Jacoman back in class.
