GOING: G(4)

9Mile Fresh BM58 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Oxley Jack. MR MAGNUS (5) was a maiden winner first up at Bendigo and has followed it up with two solid placings. Finds a similar race here and won't need to improve much to be winning here. The rise to 1200m should suit ideally. TORONLUCA (10) ran well first-up at Cranbourne over 1000m when third. Up to 1200m suits better. ISDELL (1) resumes. He was in good form prior to a spell, highlighted by a second to the smart Rey Magnerio. Consider. TOROPEAK (11) perhaps next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Magnus on top.
