GOING: G

Dabble Copy Bet Handicap 1200m

Track: Good   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Kissing Supido. LUNA FIELD (2) has hit his straps since winning his first race here in June, and was runner-up by half a length when chasing a hat-trick on this track in as many starts a fortnight ago. He slides back slightly in grade, and with the aid of a 3kg claim, he is the one to beat again. SUNZOU (3) finished close up in third in the same race as the top pick last start. That was his first local start since making the move from South Australia, and he will be a lot sharper for it. Noel Callow replaces an apprentice, and the pair will be hard to hold out. DUMMY SPIT (5) hails from the visiting Andrew Perdon stable and capped off some consistent placed form with a well-deserved win here 4 days ago. He can repeat the dose. KISSING SUPIDO (1) had no luck at all from a wide gate and tough trip here last time out, 25 days ago. With a kinder trip, he can make amends. Don't risk him. THE GIRL'S BOY (4) ran on late when finishing sixth in the same race as the top pick. He is not out of this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Luna Field should bounce back into the winner's circle here.
