GOING: G

Apiam Animal Health BM64 Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Pace a scorcher, headed by Heart Of Glass closely followed by Short And Stout and Poppet. HARRY GOT STYLES (3) won in the style of a good horse on debut at Cranbourne, backing up some strong jump outs. He was backed into $1.50 there and there were good margins back through the field. Looks capable of going on with it. HEART OF GLASS (7) is the big watch. She was dominant on debut at Ballarat winning by nearly 5 lengths which saw her start single figures at G3 level at Flemington before a spell. Resumes here and is very much suited to this grade. CHARMED RUN (2) was good first up at Cranbourne over this trip and should strip fitter. SHORT AND STOUT (4) resumes and can figure fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harry Got Styles on top.
