GOING: G

AN Electrical Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 37)   Rail: True.  

Slick tempo with Buckleup Buddy to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Competitive. The free-running BUCKLEUP BUDDY (2) proved too strong last start, scoring by 2L over 1200m at this track. Has won 2/3 this course and distance and will lead or stalk. Fitter again and will give a big sight. VITESSE BREEZE (6) has been within range his last two and keeps the 2kg claim. He'd make the finish putting his best foot forward. HELLIVIT (4) resumed in a 64 and needed the outing. He has won second-up and has a 4kg claim today. That brings him into it. ONLY THE BEST (5) has been away 49 days following a disappointing run. He'd delivered the hat-trick prior, and all three of those stack up. Goes well enough on the fresh side and has enough early speed to clear the outside gate. In the mix. THROW AT DA STUMPS (3) has the trial and a 3kg claim, and his best efforts would see him around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Buckleup Buddy.
