GOING: G(3)

HANLON WINDOWS COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 2 HANDICAP- RISING STAR 1400m

Track: Good 3   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +2m 1200m-400m .  

Human Shield should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. KOTAISHI (3) didn't do a bad job when sat on the pace to finish a close fifth over 1300m at Canberra. Will have little trouble running the 1400m and comes here in peak condition. Go close. HUMAN SHIELD (7) racing in career best form and deserves his chance in this tougher race. Gritty performance from the outside gate when saluting over the 1200m at Queanbeyan. Value player with the claim. DOLZINO (2) in need of the run first-up when shouldering the 61kg. Strips fitter from the draw and must be kept safe. ROCCO LINI (4) won at this course and trip two back. Returns to the scene of the crime after getting too far back at Gundagai over 1800m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Kotaishi.
