GOING: G

RACING240 FOR RACING. FOR YOU MR 90 HANDICAP 2000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 25)   3m off zero to the 1200m increasing to 4m around the turn to the 800m mark with a 5m spur  

Expecting a solid tempo from the get-go with several of these capable of pushing on early. CENTRAL CITY (5) performed well last start when finishing third of nine at this track over 2000m and peaks for this. Rates well an each-way chance. OFFICIAL SECRET (1) was thereabouts when resuming last start over 1900m at Fairview All Weather, finishing fifth. Loves racing here and has managed two wins from three starts. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Best figures should see her run well. SAY YES (3) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 1600m at Fairview All Weather. Worth another chance. JAEGER MOON (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when sixth over 1900m at Fairview All Weather. Looks better placed here and can return to form.
