GOING: G(4)

Winning Edge Presentations Handicap 2009m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: +2m Entire; Sectional 602m. (Pent: 5.46)  

Plenty of pace with Party Crasher and I Need A Drink up front, pressured by Hateech and Manzala. BEACH PAD (1) is a tough customer who won well here two starts back before a solid fourth at Oakbank over a longer trip. That effort suggests he’s still in form and finds a slightly easier assignment here. Expect him to be in the finish. PARTY CRASHER (10) ran a bold race to be narrowly denied at Oakbank last time over 1400m. He’s fitter now, and with Todd Pannell sticking, he’s a definite threat up in distance. DOCTOR ROBERT (9) next best, he has been consistent enough and his ratings fit in here. I NEED A DRINK (2) finished seventh last start but only beaten 3 lengths at Oakbank and looks one of the genuine hopes SUGGESTED PLAY: Beach Pad the one to beat.
