GOING: H(10)

RIVERTON SUPERVALUE / SAM BROWN CONCRETE CUTTING HANDICAP 2147m

Track: HEAVY     Out 4m  

The race does not look too bad in this opening event of the meeting no matter the footing. OHIWA SUNSET (8) produced a sound run fresh up. She is a wet tracker too. Definite win chance here after a 4kg claim. SCARLETT'S PROMISE (9) she has run okay in three of her last five starts. Quinella and trifecta must in a field like this. DIAMOND RIVIERE (11) gets a winning rider atop importantly here. Wet tracker. Course placed. She ticks several key betting boxes. STEVE AUSTIN (4) is a class dropper on last start and well-drawn. He ran a sound third prior in this class and that is the true guide. Gets a senior rider atop here tellingly too. DEGREEOFINNOCENCE (10) is an improver on last start better effort. No wet track issues at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ohiwa Sunset is a win wager.
