GOING: G(4)

Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives Handicap 2000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 12m Entire Circuit.  

Garachico should lead and dictate terms. LE MANS (11) has been around the mark in three runs this campaign, starting favourite at Flemington over 1800m last time out when working home for a narrow fourth. Out to 2000m now, she can improve again. FLAMIN' ROMANS (7) is racing very well, a solid winner in Adelaide two back before just finding one better at this track and trip last time out. He'll roll forward and only needs to hold that form to be right in the finish once more. MISTERKIPCHOGE (12) has been building into this campaign, working home well over 1800m at Rosehill last start when beaten as favourite. Can improve again out to 2000m and must be considered. RISE TO IT (8) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away and has each way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Le Mans on top.
