GOING: S

Quayclean Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Plenty of pace from Whateley, Zorro's Flight and Supernima primarily. The form of AHHA AHHA (8) will hopefully have received a boost in the previous race and she looks the one to beat again. The jockey used the good gate last time to sit handy to a strong speed and she relished the test, coming right away to score by three lengths. Bit more depth here but she drops sharply in weight and should map nicely from the low draw. JUST FOR SHOW (2) was a bit disappointing last start at Caulfield but did have a gap between runs there and should be fitter getting to 1400m. Can improve. WHATELEY (6) has won two in a row, doing it dominantly at Cranbourne last time out. Can measure right up. HOT DIGITY BOOM (4) ran a strong race at Flemington last time out in a similar class of race. Should be thereabouts once more. YALDI (1) is racing consistently and an each way chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ahha Ahha to win.
