GOING: S

JRA Handicap 2400m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo with Good Oil going forward from the good gate. LET'SBEFRANKBABY (5) looks nicely placed to peak here fourth up from a spell, getting out to 2500m. She's a Group 3 winner over this trip and hit the line well here over 2000m last time out. Will be very hard to hold out. TARAMANSOUR (2) was very good in the Wagga Cup when last seen behind the smart Fawkner Park. He's better suited over this trip and will take some beating. SING FOR PEACE (7) ran first up over 2000m and did well in third behind the talented Sea What I See. That form should hold up strongly. HOOPS (8) won well enough last time to be considered - though following up here will take a better effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Let'sbefrankbaby on top.
