GOING: G(4)

MGI Golf Handicap 3000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit.  

Brilliant Venture and Muktamil to bowl along in front and control the race. PRIVILEGED SON (4) is racing consistently and should have no issue stepping up to the 3000m here. He's shown adaptability over slightly shorter trips and was good at Flemington last time out. Looks a big chance. BRILLIANT VENTURE (3) has form around Privileged Son and there isn't much between them. He draws wide which might make it just that extra bit trickier. MUKTAMIL (5) is a consistent type who is still relatively lightly raced compared to a few of these. He should have no issue with 3000m. MR LINCOLN (6) has run second over 3800m so will stay all day. He'll beat plenty home because of it. WUDDZZ (7) is another who should be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Privileged Son.
