GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Bet With Mates Class Two Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 7m Entire. Out 4m 1200m Chute.  

Genuine pace with Favourite Child taking up the running ahead of Stella Notation and Captain Joolian. FAVOURITE CHILD (7) showed great early toe last start at Geelong and gave a good kick in the lane, only to be caught. Not much tougher this time and drops back slightly in trip with 29 days between runs. Leading player. ALFANO (1) returns and makes his stable debut for the Bain & Taylor partnership. Carries solid Sydney form and strips fitter for two recent trials. Forward showing anticipated. CAPTAIN JOOLIAN (2) will enjoy the drop in grade after his midfield finish last start at Mt Gambier. Drawn low and has Crowther sticking. Right in this on best form. FALAISE (3) strips fitter third up off the back of two poor runs. The booking of Toeroek is intriguing and warrants safe keeping. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Favourite Child to win.
