GOING: G

ROANT New Horse Scales Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True.  

They should really hum along here over the 1200m journey. MOTIVATED MISS (3) was a big winner fresh up in lesser company and then tried hard last time out when finishing second here 5 weeks ago. She is likely to push on early from her wide gate and is expected to be among the hardest to beat again. WHITTEN (2) is resuming from a short spell and has won fresh up in the past. He can make the most of drawing in the pole position and should be very competitive at this level. CALL IT A LOAN (1) did not take long to break his maiden status since arriving from West Australia with a tough win here a fortnight ago. He has the scope to go right on with the job. EXTREME EMOTION (5) has improved since shifting from a Victorian stable earlier in the year. She was third last time out after winning before that and it is encouraging to see Jarrod Todd retain the ride. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Call It A Loan each-way.
