CAULFIELD HEATH   28 Nov 2024
 
GOING: S(7)

Sportsbet Feed Handicap 1600m

Track: Soft 7     Rail: Out 2m Entire Circuit.  

From wide gates Hazey Hill and Inexorable can push forward and contest the lead. INEXORABLE (2) is stuck on the 1 win from 11 starts but hasn't had the best of luck at times, beaten as favourite last time out at Moonee Valley. Damian Lane takes over here and while the draw isn't ideal, he's certainly good enough to win this. OUR COUVER (1) tackled a stronger race at Caulfield last time out when seventh, beaten five lengths. His form prior reads very well for this and he maps for a good run on the speed. LARIO (6) wasn't far away in a messy Listed race at Flemington last time out. He'll find this easier than recent runs and can bounce back. SHOT AT THE NIGHT (7) is coming off a narrow maiden win and could sneak into the finish at odds. HAZEY HILL (5) is lightly raced and in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Inexorable on top.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Mornington Mdn-Sw November 3 over 1500m defeating Zoussential with 57.5kg at $4.50. The race before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Moe Mdn-Sw on October 18 over 1600m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind She Nailed It with 57.5kg at $8. Tougher here and the ratings indicate she will struggle to feature in the finish.

Previously first up; sixth of 8 at Taree Bm58 April 28 over 1412m, in the wet; 7 len behind Tough Case with 59kg at $5.50. Will find this tougher than what he was up against prior to a spell and hard to see him improving enough to feature in this.
