GOING: G

Member's Lounge Pasta Night 28 June Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Small field but Duty, Fantasy Eagle and Typically Brazen can ensure a genuine tempo. ALTAR BOY (3) bounced back into winning form when demolishing some weaker opposition just over a fortnight ago. That was only his second run for his new trainer and he will be even sharper for this assignment. Now that his mojo is back, he can win again. FANTASY EAGLE (2) is seldom far away and drops back in class for this. An inside draw suits him and he is capable of a top 3 finish in this. TYPICALLY BRAZEN (4) has been beaten by some tough draws recently and is worth another chance in a small field, even though he has drawn wide again. Stick with him. DUTY (1) is resuming from a spell over a trip that is short of his best but a small field will help him and he can't be totally ruled out. ZOUSTORM (5) is another who is struggling to find his best but the small field will help him. He can fill a first 4 spot at least. SUGGESTED PLAY: Altar Boy to win.
