GOING: G

Coopers Brewery Class One Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Tanna and Jura Vaudois kicking up to hold out the next wave. REOFFER (6) has been good in her two runs back without saluting but peaks now and is drawn to advantage. Can get the job done. BIG BRUTE (1) returns and while he hasn't won for a very long time, he has produced some good efforts in between. Readied with a jumpout and should get all the favours from the inside pillar. Bold showing anticipated. FLIRT (4) made the perfect return here 3 weeks ago when leading pillar-to-post. Tougher this time but has more to offer and is a big threat. Will take plenty of catching if left alone in front. JURA VAUDOIS (5) didn't finish off last time but did impress when taking out her maiden. Can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Reoffer to win.
