GOING: H

Quayclean Handicap 1000m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 9m 1000m-W/Post. Out 6m Remainder. Sectional 612m. (Pent: 7).  

Strong pace from Chosen Blonde and Squad matching motors with Boonie close at hand. BOONIE (2) improved sharply third-up when narrowly beaten at Murray Bridge. Expect him to be nearing his peak now and is drawn favourably for the 2kg claimer over a preferred trip. Leading player. ASTON RAPOVA (1) finished alongside Boonie last start. Meets him worse at the weights this time but is drawn better this time and gets the blinkers on first time. Shoulders a strong record over the track and trip. Serious chance. FOXY FEMME (8) has been hitting the line nicely over this journey all throughout this campaign. Suspect she wants further but comes right into calculations under the light weight. Expect to see her featuring at the business end. SQUAD (3) was a tough all the way winner two back at Cranbourne. Not as effective last start when tackling tougher opposition but is placed perfectly here back in this grade and from the favourable inside pillar. Expect him to give backers a very bold sight. CLASSY KENNY (4) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boonie gets the nod.
