GOING: G

Red Centre Technology Partners Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

They will be low-flying early with plenty of speed across the line. IL DON CAVALLO (8) turned a corner recently and was a big winner last time out on this track by over 3 lengths. A 2-kilo claim will see him carry less weight this time and he is good enough to win again. ONLY THE BEST (5) was runner-up behind the top pick last start and meets that runner on the same terms here and may have to settle for the same result. DELAGO LAD (7) can mix his form at this level but will still be on the up with his fitness and does have the advantage of drawing in the pole position. Stick with him. FAMILY TIES (4) bounced back into form last time out when finishing second by a nose here just over a fortnight ago. The extra 100 metres is ideal and he can go one better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Il Don Cavallo to win.
