GOING: S(5)

"Its Why We Race" BM68 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 11m 1800m-1200m; Out 14m Remainder. (Pent: 4.52).  

Moderate pace from Sushi Express taking it up with Mywordis and Co Accused on his back. LI'L HAIL MARY (5) resumed with a solid effort over 1430m and has trialled well since. Newitt stays aboard and she's proven second-up. Not sure the rails gate advantages but a good ride can take care of that. ALPINE AFFAIR (1) was quickly back on track winning over this distance in stronger. Carries more weight but the 2kg claim helps. A chance to go back-to-back. SUSHI EXPRESS (3) won the 60 and then wasn't far away this grade. Won his only start over a mile and should go close. FIGHTING FLOYD (4) beat the above home last time and maps better He's a chance as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Li'l Hail Mary.

Useful gelding. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a long-neck at this track Bm76 June 9 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Sir Simon carrying 52kg at $3.50. The run before that 5th of 11 at Devonport Synthetic Bm60 on June 2 over 1880m, 5 len behind Weldborough with 58kg at $5. Genuine hope.
