GOING: H

RPPFM Handicap 1000m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. TRANSACTIONS (5) is going well, just finding one better at his past two outings. Kept fresh for the drop back to 1000m, he should be storming home. BEHAVIOUR (4) broke the maiden as a heavily supported commodity at Cranbourne last time out and has a bot of upside. Can go on with the job now. REGAL SECRET (2) resumes with a solid profile for this, albeit typically over a touch further. She is speedy enough however and has the ability. POINT BE (9) has had two jump-outs in readiness for this and has to be kept safe fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Transactions.
