Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Good tempo anticipated with Luigi The Brave and Golden Mask leading the way. Tricky race. SONIC BENDER (6) has run fifth in both starts to date, resuming at Kyneton over 1887m when making some late ground. He was firmly in the market there and might be worth another chance with improvement to come. ANGEL FEET (4) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1968m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Give one more go. GOLDEN MASK (1) is knocking on the door, just finding one better his past couple. He'll be up on speed which can be key around here. LUIGI THE BRAVE (2) is racing well through similar races and has each way claims. ROCKIN' DEE FOX (3) can be fitter and has some hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sonic Bender to win.
