GOING: S

Aviso Integral BM64 Handicap 2218m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Womanizer to take charge ahead of Running On Time at a strong tempo. AMPHACTOR (7) looks nicely placed in this coming off a narrow second placing at Sandown-Lakeside over 2100m. He doesn't win out of turn but rates highly off the last run and looks to get a good run here. Top pick. FUTURE MONARCH (3) won well two back at Bendigo over a mile before finding a BM70 at Caulfield too hot and struggling. Better suited here, she can win. VERIFIER (1) was good at Caulfield last time out and rates highly off that. He does need luck in running given his pattern, hence the 1/17 record, but should be in the finish here. RUNNING ON TIME (6) is racing consistently without winning and should be thereabouts again. HIGH TORQUE (5) is up in grade but in form and could measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Amphactor to win.
