Morphettville   31 May 2025
 
GOING: S(6)

Fleurieu Milk Company Handicap 2042m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +10m 1200m-W/Post; +8m Remainder, Sectional 613m. (Pent: 6.21)  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Mandino. BEACH PAD (4) brings the standout formlines. He was a strong second over this track and trip behind a smart type last start and gets in well at the weights with the rise in grade. Holder, who has guided him to two previous victories, is back aboard. Expect another bold showing. DOLCEMENTE (6) has attacked the line with real purpose in her past two and now steps up in trip on the quick turnaround. Milnes sticks and she’s perfectly placed to peak. A major danger. SIR DAVY (2) continues to build into his prep and will relish this longer journey. Must be respected. MAGNETIC EDGE (5) finishes off strongly and looks suited on the back-up. Can flash late if the pace is hot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Beach Pad to win.
