MyRacehorse It's Showtime Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit.  

Strong early tempo with Beaukati and Destiny's Prophet to lead the way over Aminatu and Lazy Susan. LAZY SUSAN (2) narrowly on top. She stuck on well behind the smart Isthmus first up in quick time at Sandown Hillside. She'll be fitter for that and can hopefully push into a spot just off the pace. WAKANJEJA (4) resumes. First up last time in she ran third at Caulfield in a BM78 and some of her Adelaide form prior was good too. She'll be back and charging late. FLYING ON A LIMB (1) resumes. She can be hit or miss but her best is certainly good enough to figure and she loves the 1000m trip. UNDER AND OVER (6) resumes off a 10-month spell and if she's ready to go has winning claims. THEYCALLMEBRUCE (3) can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lazy Susan to win.
