GOING: G

Here For The Horses Handicap 1800m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Strong pace on the cards with Speranzoso and Perfect Ending expected to be crossing from wide out. SMOKIN' PRINCESS (10) has looked the goods scoring at Pakenham at past couple. This is a rise in grade, but the extra distance is seen as a plus. Forward showing on the cards. Group 3 placegetter MOYA LASS (8) was well supported when scoring a solid first-up win. Strips fitter this time around and the extra ground is a plus. Sure to run well. REBADGE (6) has performed soundly in two runs this campaign and the slight drop in trip is seen as a plus. One of the hopes in an open race. SUGGESTED PLAY: A tough race but happy to have something on Smokin' Princess and Moya Lass to win.
