GOING: S

Flooring Xtra Hamilton 0 - 56 Highweight Handicap 2200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.57)  

In a race without an obvious leader, either Matthew Mark or Radstar can roll them along. MATTHEW MARK (3) progressed nicely last start, just missing over 2200m at this track. Likely improver who can go one better in this contest. AMAWASHA (1) was just nudged out at Moe first-up over 2050m and then tackled much stronger at Geelong over a staying trip and didn't get into it. Fitter and this suits much better. Capable of a return to form. SQUANDER (5) peaks and got closer at Warrnambool last time stepping up from a mile. Will be better for that experience and can't be ruled out. MASH AND GRAVY (7) was not far away over 2000m at Warrnambool, when he was prominent throughout. Scored at his only try at this trip and hits this race at peak. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Matthew Mark.
