GOING: G(4)

FALVEY'S HOTEL GATTON RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Onomatopoeia. SHOT DOWN BY LOVE (6) caused an upset when winning her penultimate start here over this trip, and then was fourth last time out over a mile nearly 3 weeks ago. She has a better gate now, and she will be hard to hold out again. PEACH GALANTES (9) has been racing consistently and fought on well enough for third here last time out. She is drawn closer to the fence this time and should produce her usual honest effort. Each way all day. TOBA (2) ran the race of an improver at Warwick 2 weeks ago, and he does have a good record on this course. He gets a more favourable draw third up and is ready to put his best hoof forward. JEDIAH (5) was an overdue maiden winner at Toowoomba earlier last month, and was close to that form again when finishing fourth at Kilcoy last week. Stick with him on an each-way basis. SUGGESTED PLAY: Peach Galantes each-way.

Most recently 3rd of 10 at Kilcoy 0 - 55 on January 2 over 1500m, slow going 0.8 len behind Got Yourself A Gun with 60kg at $10. The race before that came from midfield and won by a nose at this track Mdn-Sw December 21 over 1400m defeating Prince Of Synergy carrying 58.5kg at $4.40. This looks a tough assignment.
