GOING: S

Carter Group National BM64 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.66).  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Agave. WALTER SPUR (7) can run well fresh. He's a consistent type who was dominant winning at Mornington first up last time in, following it up with a pair of third placings. Likes wet ground and looks nicely suited here. UNLIMITED MAGIC (12) is a lightly raced type who resumes. She was beaten as favourite first up last time in but has always shown some talent and is worth keeping safe. SASQUALAH (15) has only had three starts to date and resumes here for the Wilde yard. She won dominantly on debut here and will be tuned right up for this. ROMANTIC CHOICE (11) won nicely at Ballarat first up and could measure up at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Walter Spur to win.
