GOING: S(7)

EGROUP PROTECTIVE SERVICES HANDICAP 1900m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.76).  

Strong early tempo with Mormona and Forecaster leading the way. MARE OF MT BULLER (12) lightly raced mare undefeated second up. Warmed up late with the 60kg when a narrow third over 1500m at this track on September 14. Drops 4.5kg in weight here and races best on rain affected going. Go close. UNUSUAL LEGACY (8) has the slick record of five wins from eight starts and has further improvement to come. Sat off the good tempo and rounded them up effortlessly as fav when winning over 1800m here on September 14. Can race closer from the draw and win again. LINCOLN ROCKS (9) has an impeccable Victorian record winning three of his last five starts. Sat midfield with cover as fav with the 60kg when scoring over 2040m at Moonee Valley on September 7. Fitness will take him a long way here. LAUDING (11) another Victorian from the Maher camp who finished a close up third over 2040m at Moonee Valley behind Lincoln Rocks at latest. Maps well and has each way prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 12,8,9,11.
