GOING: G

Lauren Denys 0 - 58 Handicap 2847m

Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.18).  

Understated should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. MR ZIGMUND (9) brought easy wins in the bush to Cranbourne and missed a whisker over 2600m in a 64. The extra 247m shouldn't bother and he can bounce back. SUFFOLK STAR (1) is an improver from the Preusker yard and can springboard off the 1L defeat at Geelong over 2200m. Gives every impression this trip will suit and he presents at peak. WOTOODLOU (2) races handy and has been trying hard in this grade mixing staying trips. Hard-fit and is likely to run out the trip better than most. EL CAMPEON (3) was back in the winner's stall winning at Swan Hill this level over 2400m. He can get into the money on that effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Mr Zigmund.
