Horsham   28 Oct 2016
 
GOING: G(3)

Nugent's Accountants (Bm64) 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 4.95).  

Speed anticipated from Peaky Blinders, Aerial Ping Pong and Holy Fire. Holy Fire and Aerial Ping Pong will set up a strong tempo in the last. Darren Weir's CRAFTY DEVIL maps beautifully from gate three and looks one of the safer bets on this card. Placed first up over 1200m then overcame a slow start and a chequered run to score with something in hand over this distance at Bendigo last start. Stepping up in grade today but is a lightly raced mare who is still progressing. Cherry ripe today. TURN AGAIN caught the eye when he rattled home to grab third over 1350m at Donald last start when resuming from a five month spell. Second up form has been patchy but looks to have come back bigger and better. PEAKY BLINDERS also resumed in good style last start, finding the 1100m too short but working home well to finish third. Best form last prep was at a mile so this trip second up looks ideal. Dubai King should improve today on a drier track with blinkers on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very keen on Crafty Devil.
