GOING: S

Jenharwill Cossar Farms Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Only a small field with Bushann likely to find a comfortable lead. HAZEY HILL (2) showed improvement from first start to second outing when filling a place at Sandown last time. Will be further improved and is expected to give this a shake. BUSHANN (5) has only been sighted on the two occasions and has filled a place each time. Shapes as though the extra trip won't be a problem. Should make a bold bid. WINSTON (3) wasn't disgraced in his only appearance when finishing fifth at Sandown on debut. Will be improved by that outing and cannot be dismissed. PRINCE PINOT (6) hasn't raced since late April when just behind the placegetters over 1400m at Ballarat. Gets on home track here and is worth keeping in mind. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Hazey Hill and Bushann to win.

Second-up. First start eased back early on 5th of 7 at Rosehill 2yo Mdn on November 15 over 1100m, 9 len behind Spywire carrying 58kg at $15. Went for a spell before returning second last of 11 at Sandown-Hillside 2yo Mdn-Sw on May 8 over 1000m, 9 len behind Blue Renegade carrying 58kg at $26. Strips fitter and is worthy some thought.

Expected to give this a shake.
