GOING: S

Sportsbet Fast Form Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Run Like Hell or Castellar to lead the small field. WOLFLANDS (1) continues to race well, just finding one better at his past three starts. Beaten by a speedy, in-form Pure Bliss last start at Morphettville Parks, he only needs to hold his form to be going close in this. CASTELLAR (4) was okay last time at Moonee Valley but had been racing well prior before a short let up and has the speed to push on from a wide gate. Best form reads well. ATLANTIC SPIRIT (2) was a narrow winner fresh at Bendigo over this trip, coming from well back. Should be hard to hold out again. LAST DRUID (8) drops 6.5kg in weight from an even showing at Wyong fresh. His best form reads very well for this, can improve quickly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wolflands to win.
