GOING: H

Sinclair Wilson BM64 Handicap 1325m

Track: HVY8   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Capper Thirtynine and Sirius Statement will press forward and set a solid tempo. TACITO (4) is Listed and Group placed and third-up can improve sharply. Was good in town resuming off a long break and likely had excuses in the small field following. In a leading barn and Currie is a positive jockey booking. CAPPER THIRTYNINE (7) came back to racing further improved leading and conceding late at Pakenham. Had good support at Bendigo following but lacked late dash. Fitter again and Childs goes aboard and will use the rails gate. EXPLOSIVE THINKER (5) has been busting to win. Maps for a soft run and has weight relief. A chance as well. ALICE DOWNS (6) seeks the hat-trick off an easy win at 58 level. Needs to step up again but that's not out of the question. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Tacito.
