GOING: G(4)

Peter Walsh MP BM52 Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 3     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Pace looks strong with Rafha's Choice pushing forward from an outside draw. FUGACITY (13) improved sharply beaten 1L at Ballarat and then raced forward again at Geelong and faded late. Can use the low gate and is better suited in this contest. On a q1uick back up and gets his chance. VIA CAPO (1) tries hard and has patches of form that would see him competitive. Finds much easier than the 64 at Warrnambool and can position forward. VILLIANAIRE (2) has been around the mark at Bendigo two of his last three. Drops back plent in grade and is also a chance. SCHILLER SALUTE (3) had been tracking along okay before a plain effort at Bendigo at better level. This will be more to his liking and he's in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Fugacity.
