GOING: G

Rebecca Sheehy Highweight Handicap 2809m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 1m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.71)  

Plenty of speed from Understated and Mr Zigmund. Tough. KILLARNEY (5) brings a comfortable Pakenham Maiden win over 2500m, bet into a $2.50 favourite. He's been kept on the fresh side and the extra metres shouldn't prove an issue. MICKIO (6) missed a nose over 2002m at Warrnambool and will be fitter again. He'd just missed at Geelong first-up prior, heavily bet in both. Just has to run out the extra 809m. THE TRUE BELIEVER (2) won over a middle distance on the synthetic as expected. He will use the rail and get every chance to manage the longer trip. TOM FOOLERY (8) resumed with a steeplechase win. He will run it right out and is worth consideration as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Killarney.
