GOING: H(10)

MENNIES MINI DIG / TRENZ HOMES HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 3m  

David Moss and Town Belt are both expected to press forward and take it up. MAGNASTAR (2) he led up here two starts ago and was caught late. Wide draw but the 3yo gelding can cope. Partial class dropper. Win chance in this. TOWN BELT (5) led up at last start when second. She can handle dry and wet ground. Top tier chance in this field. DAVID MOSS (4) was better at his last start. Ace draw. Won his Maiden when third up. He can pay a dividend here. MIGHTY BRIGHT (9) showed big improvement at his last start and can go on with it now. Trifecta and first four chance in this. THE MOTIVATOR (6) course placed at his last start. He can handle dry and wet footing. Drawn out again but not out of this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magnastar and Town Belt are win wagers.
