30XY Group Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Out 4m Entire Circuit  

In a small field Betwitchery and Kaluakoi should comfortably pair off up front. SAVVYROCKER (4) looks well placed getting to 1600m having been outclassed fresh over 1200m at Caulfield before an even effort at Bendigo in a handy BM64. She's bred to stay and gets to a much better distance now. CACHINK (1) resumed with a tidy maiden win at Warrnambool over 1400m, scoring by 1.5 lengths. He's open to plenty of improvement and the extra 200m will suit. VIXENETTE (5) ran well out to this trip at Morphettville, working home well for third. Likely to get back in the small field here but has claims. KALUAKOI (3) is coming off a smart maiden win at Ballarat over this trip, winning by 2.3 lengths. Can go on with it. BETWITCHERY (6) is still a maiden but wouldn't shock. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Savvyrocker.
