GOING: G(4)

GOOD LUCK TO WA BREEDERS AT 2025 MAGIC MILLIONS YEARLING SALES HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

Moderate pace from Sauvegarde taking it up with Safe Hustle and Arnie's Boy on her back. BONNIE LAD (2) disappointed at Pinjarra last start when back in trip, but he just missed here the start prior. On the quick turnaround, but draws well and will appreciate the rise in distance. Can bounce back to winning ways today. SAUVEGARDE (3) is hard to knock on recent form, finishing just 0.5L off the winner here most recently. Austin Galati replaces the apprentice hoop and he should be prominent in the run. Can go one better without surprising. JUSTHANDY (6) bounced back to form last campaign and draws much better today. Carries no weight and has claims. ARNIE'S BOY (5) can run a strong race first-up and back in grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bonnie Lad can get the job done.
