GOING: G(4)

CALOUNDRA SHS P&C Class 3 Handicap 1800m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 6.30)  

Sweet Proposal has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. ZAHER (3) got a breakthrough win at the latest outing and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Right in this contest that is decimated by scratchings and shouldn't be dismissed lightly. SWEET PROPOSAL (5) has hit the top-five in 17 of her past 18 starts and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Such a consistent conveyance who will play a major role again. LA COMETA (1) is two from two over this course and distance and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Ready for the 1800m now. SETTAT (6) is a last-start winner over this track and trip and winning rider Bayliss stays on top. Capable of another strong showing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Zaher.
