AGRAFORUM GROWING INNOVATION 1400m

Track: HEAVY     True  

The race pace here looks not too bad in this Open Handicap over 1400m. MASTER MARKO (6) is a five-year-old fresh up and back to his original Kelvin Tyler yard. Last start eighth over 1615m at Doomben at his last appearance 12 weeks ago. Will find this an easier task as he drops a massive 6.5kg here. Win chance here no matter the footing. LORD DARCI (1) is a class dropper resuming. Course proven. He has won fresh up as well. Threat after a 3kg claim. CHARBANO (3) has won on dry and wet ground. Trifecta and first four chance for sure. MAKABAR (5) is course proven. Multiple class dropper. Premiership leading rider on here tellingly. GO LOTTE (4) is a class riser. Has won on dry and wet ground. Place and first four chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Master Marko and Lord Darci are win wagers.
