GOING: S

Rafferty's Tavern 2YO Open Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.96).  

Many of these step out for the first time so a frantic pace is likely early on over this sharp trip. Very tough with most on debut having jumped out well. SHADHAVAR (14) is a Pride Of Dubai filly for the Tom Dabernig yard. She won a trial at Terang and draws well. Respect any market moves. LA PLEINE LUNE (4) is a Puissance De Lune colt for the Hayes yard. Nash Rawiller is a key booking off the back of a jump out win at Flemington. Looks a good chance. MUSKOGEE (5) is a Starspangledbanner gelding for the Moody & Coleman yard having won a Pakenham jump out leading in. Respect. GOLDEN WARRIOR (2) is a colt by Snitzel on debut for the Freedman yard. Luke Currie booked and he's won a jump out well. Right in this. GUERITE (10) is a filly by Shamus Award filly for the Lindsay Smith yard. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Shadhavar.
