GOING: S

Buloke Plumbing 0-58 Handicap 1620m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.83).  

Without a noted leader tactics can prove all important. ELLE MCFEARSOME (10) backed up a solid fresh run at Kerang with a strong on-speed win at Horsham. Has a good draw to go forward here and is expected to give this a shake. BANNERTON (1) doesn't win out of turn but he should be near his top following two runs from a break. Slightly shorter trip is appealing. Must be respected. DANDINO BELLE (9) scored at Horsham in February and subsequent efforts have been sound. Not meeting an overly strong bunch here. Looks one of the threats. FACTORED IN (16) was far from disgraced in tougher grade at Warrnambool last time. Faces a big drop in grade here and is expected to feature prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Elle McFearsome and Bannerton to win
