GOING: G

Ararat RSL Sir Brudenell White Highweight Handicap 4000m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.11)  

In a small field either Clifton Danseur or Golden Garden will find the front. STAND UP FOR ME (2) hasn't been far away of late, only beaten 2.3 lengths in the Horsham Cup two starts back before a sound effort when sixth at Bendigo. Out to the 4000m now but expecting Paul Preusker to have him primed. MR LINCOLN (1) is proven over these sorts of trips which counts for plenty. He worked home okay at Moonee Valley over 3000m last time and has run second over 3800m here in a similar race. CLIFTON DANSEUR (3) hasn't fired of late but could be an improver with more ground. GOLDEN GARDEN (4) is racing well and expecting the Wilde camp to have him fit and firing for this. TOMBOULDER (6) ran well out to 3070m last time suggesting this trip would be fine. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stand Up For Me on top.
