GOING: G

Stow Storage Solutions Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo from Lincolnshire leading Knobelas. Keen to see KNOBELAS (7) again. She hit the line powerfully on debut over 1400m at Pakenham before being ridden closer out to a mile last time and more than justifying the $1.28 quote, bolting clear to win by four lengths. Drawn to be ridden positively again, she's exciting and should measure right up. COLOUR OUR WORLD (6) was disappointing as a heavily backed $1.60 favourite in a weaker race at Swan Hill last time but had been close up and very unlucky in a strong race at Caulfield prior. Can bounce right back now. ALL BUSINESS (5) is racing consistently, fourth in three consecutive runs against good opposition since a maiden win. May find some smart types again but is certainly an each-way chance again. LINCOLNSHIRE (4) can mix her form but was close up last time and has claims. CANARA (2) is struggling to win but has the ability to figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Knobelas to win.
