GOING: G(4)

ive > Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Acta Non Verba, Finance Shogun and Didn't Miss Many can set the pace. Tricky little race but banking on ACTA NON VERBA (4) making good improvement from his first up run at Geelong. He showed speed there but just ran out of gas late to finish fifth, beaten three lengths. He should enjoy 1600m around here and will take plenty of catching. DIDN'T MISS MANY (1) comes through the same race at Geelong, first up off a short break there when boxing on for fourth. He's another with speed that can strip a bit fitter and run a strong race. RASP (5) resumed with a tough win at Pakenham in a BM62 over 1400m when charging late. Up to a mile suits even better and he should be hard to hold out. FINANCE SHOGUN (2) also in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Acta Non Verba to win.
