GOING: S(6)

PRD REAL ESTATE BUNGENDORE HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 4.92)  

Aegipan and Scruff's Magic possess good early speed. SHE'S HIGH SOCIETY (6) resumed with a tidy placing on the turf and then missed a nose on the Acton synthetic before being outgraded on that surface following. Much better suited today, and the 2kg claim brings her right into it. In the premier local stable and is the one to beat. AEGIPAN (4) will be much more competitive than the form line suggests. He led at Goulburn two-back beaten 1.8L in stronger and didn't appreciate the Acton synthetic last time. He will run along over the shorter sprint and take passing. BEAU ROCK (5) continues to race well and assess his chances on the 1.4L defeat at Moruya two back. He races forward and Penza will give him every hope. Tougher sorting the remainder. SINGLE BEAT (10) is a likely improver from a smart local yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing She's High Society.
