SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   15 Aug 2018
 
GOING: G

Le Pine Funerals (Bm64) 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain Early   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Pace can come from out wide with Frankly Harvey and All Day Every Day. White Devon can kick up from the inside, All Day Every Day goes forward from wide out. Metson, Kaptive Hero and Frankly Harvey are others that can be on speed. EL PHOENIX will probably be in the first five or six and he'll find this easier than a solid effort at Caulfield in a strong race last time. Go well. PALMATEER couldn't have been more impressive scoring on this track over a mile last time and if she has any luck from the wide gate she's in the finish. METSON gave a good account up on the speed on the Hillside last start and if he handles the extra trip he's a good each-way hope. Moscow Red, Resurge and Tell The Truth have cases as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Palmateer.
