Sportsbet Bet With Mates Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 12m Entire Circuit.  

Hot early pace is on the cards with South Of Houston, Miss Icelandic and Mrs Chrissie matching motors. KIN (8) was a very frustrating conveyance last time in, finishing close up in plenty of races without winning, often at short odds. With a bit of luck and a good steer from D Lane, she can take this out. MISS ICELANDIC (5) resumes for a new stable. She won three in a row last preparation including a very soft victory at this track and distance, prior to tackling a Listed race in Adelaide and running fairly well. Suited this level and can win. MRS CHRISSIE (1) is racing well, winning two of her past three. Will give a bold sight again. LUNA CAT (4) should be thereabouts off a solid win last start and can measure up. WAVERIDER BUOY (6) doesn't win many but will be running on strongly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Kin.

Going well. At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Sandown-Hillside Bm84 June 15 over 1000m in soft going defeating Rattle And Bang carrying 54kg at $3.80. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Sandown-Hillside Bm78 on May 25 over 1000m, slow going 1.3 len behind Wondereach with 58.5kg at $4. Sure to be tough to beat from an inside gate.
