GOING: G

Follow Me Dabble On Tik Tok Handicap 1600m

Track: Good   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Looks to be plenty of pace with Star Casino and Yaki Ishi battling for the lead. DESERT MIST (2) just battled in a much tougher field here 11 days ago over 2050m and has a better record over a mile. He was racing well before his last run and is expected to bounce back and be the one to beat in this. YAKI ISHI (1) ran his best race this prep when running on strongly to finish fourth here 11 days ago. He has the pole position here, and with Noel Callow back in the saddle, he can figure in the top 3 this time. MIRACOLI (9) needed his start fresh up when finishing sixth, and generally improves with racing. He has a good gate, and Jarrod Todd sticks with him. Each way value. GRINZINGER BISHOP (3) is backing up quickly from Saturday and will have no fitness concerns after having 3 runs back from a spell. A good draw will help, and with a drop in class, he will be hard to hold out. STAR CASINO (4) was well beaten over 2050m last time out in a far stronger field after winning 2 races on the bounce at Port Augusta before that. Stick with him on an each-way basis here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grinzinger Bishop at some each-way value here.
