GOING: S

Sportsbet Green Tick Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Furrina and Mrs Archibald should set a strong clip. REGAL SECRET (5) was solid fresh then hit the line hard to finish runner-up latest on the Synthetic at Pakenham. Beaten just a nose and looks ready to break through third-up and with the aid of an inside barrier. VOLATILE (4) ran on well to score this class latest. Goes up a couple of kilos but in great form and can make it two on the trot. DON'T RUSSIA (13) has been close-up last two and gets some weight relief today. Standover rider goes aboard and looks a leading chance on best. SUN SETTING (7) has good speed, winning two back then tackling city class latest when fading late. This is easier and expected to take running down. SUGGESTED PLAY: Regal Secret can pounce third-up.
