GOING: G(4)

AUSTRALIAN ENERGY ANALYTICS Class 2 Handicap 1800m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 6.18)  

Strong tempo assured from Family Of League and Old Faithful leading the charge. It's hard to knock the form of OLD FAITHFUL (1) who has two wins and two placings from his past four outings and may have turned the corner now. Boasts a win around this circuit and winning rider Guthmann-Chester sticks in the irons. Can continue the purple patch. GOLDEN SMILE (2) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-five in ten of her past 11 starts and rarely puts in a poor one. Include in calculations. EMPRESS ASPEN (3) has placed over this track and trip and gets some weight off with Youngberry's claim. Top-three aspirations. SHRIMPTON (7) broke the maiden status in dominant fashion at the latest outing and will have taken some confidence from that victory. Can go back-to-back. SHEDRIVESABENTLEY (6) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Old Faithful.
