GOING: G(4)

Salters Hire 0 - 62 1620m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 9m 1200m-W/Post; Out 6m Remainder. (Pent: 4.56).  

The pace looks even at best without a noted on-pacer engaged. MONTE BIANCO (5) settled at the tail of the field here last time and was never in the hunt. Posted a strong relative figure prior in a 72. Has the blinkers the first time applied and can sit up closer. Peaks and should go close. OPALSON (3) dropped back to this distance and won a Hobart CL1 comfortably. He always puts in and gets his chance to go back-to-back. FOREST DIAMOND (4) settled too far back in the same contest but made solid inroads. The ex-Victorian has been improved and fitter can't be ruled out. A LITTLE DECEIT (6) presents off a much-improved effort and will enjoy the step up to the mile. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Monte Bianco.
