CAULFIELD HEATH   17 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Sportsbet Set A Deposit Limit Plate 1600m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Mohnar leading the way. INEXORABLE (4) has placed in all four runs this campaign and looks close to a win. He was beaten at short odds last start at Geelong but did strike heavy ground there. The run prior at Caulfield was excellent against much stronger opposition. Can bounce back. MOHNAR (9) presents third-up having run well for second on resumption before an even effort at Cranbourne when back 100m in trip. Like her getting to 1600m now. Good chance. LINAS REEL (5) was okay first-up at Cranbourne over 1300m when midfield, beaten 3.5 lengths. Up in trip suits ideally now. GALAN (1) is a 21-start maiden. He's going well though and can figure. EXPEETEE (7) placed on resumption at Benalla and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Inexorable to win.
