GOING: G

TAB We're On 1200m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Pace strong from Hulm and Rhinoceros vying for the lead closely attended by Zebella. MOBY DICK (5) clearly on top. He flew late first up at this track over 1100m to get up on the line. Fancy that's as short as he wants it so the extra 100m here suits nicely and he looks a horse that can measure up in better races. WOLFY (10) was good when beaten two lengths by Moby Dick fresh. He's contested some handy races in his time and will be fitter with Zahra sticking. PRINZERRO (8) broke through for a narrow win at Pakenham Synthetic last time out. He's proven against these sorts of horses and can figure. ZEBELLA (13) beat a decent field in Adelaide last time and shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moby Dick to win.
