GOING: S(5)

Ag Warehouse Terang BM56 Highweight Handicap 2156m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m - WP, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.43)  

Cousins Day and Flood And Fire look to bowl along in front. Very competitive highweight with little between the top half dozen. FLOOD AND FIRE (4) was over the hurdles last time in but has more than enough flat ability for this. Good run fresh with a big weight and strips fitter for the extra ground. Looks a good improver. SANIKA (7) has been racing well and is overdue for a win. Course and distance winner and overdue. Expected to feature. COSMIC (9) is another racing well including a two-length maiden win two back. Form is good for this and will be winding up late. INITIAL MOMENT (12) is fitter now and making headway. Strong run last time and expected to go close despite the wide draw. HERE COMES RUBY (11) is well placed this grade and should prove hard to hold out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Flood And Fire.
