GOING: G(4)

MASTERFOODS Class 2 Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.20)  

Small field in which Jimmyinthejungle can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. OOHLALOUVRE (5) has placed six of nine over this course and distance and rarely puts in a poor one. Must be respected and include in all calculations. LUVA FLUTTA (1) strips fitter third-up from the spell, gets 2kg off with the claim and draws the inside alley. Ticks a few boxes for a race of this calibre. DON'TCHA LUV'ER (4) returns from a spell. Prepared for this with a recent trial at Doomben. Opened last campaign with a win at this track over 1000m and can give this a shake fresh. MERCATELLO (6) has not raced since scoring over 1200m at Eagle Farm on March 25. Look for a big fresh run here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,1,4,6.
