Port Augusta   12 Jul 2024
 
GOING: G

Century 21 Port Augusta Class One Handicap 1498m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Crimson Factor to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. HOT FLUSH (4) only missed narrowly here two back. Not as effective last start but can bounce back sharply. MOUNT MUMUKAI (1) was a dominant maiden winner here three back when leasing pillar-to-post. Hasn't quite been able to go on with it but takes benefit from reuniting with winning hoop in Livesey. Can turn things around quickly. UNTOUCHABLE ED (8) never looked likely last start at Mt Gambier but did make some late in-roads. Fitter again and gets in low at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged. In the mix. CRIMSON FACTOR (12) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Hot Flush.
