GOING: G(4)

Highview Accounting & Financial Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Sibel, Midnight Charm and I Miss Margie to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. EXUMA (10) resumed with a solid maiden win at Seymour, just his second race start. This is an open race and not the deepest BM64, and from the inside gate he'll land on speed and take catching. MIDNIGHT CHARM (1) is off a short spell here. He hasn't fired in his past two runs but certainly has the ability on his day. Best figures measure up nicely. STRANGELESS (11) was good when fourth in a metro BM64 last start and gets in nicely with 54kg here. Solid each way hope. TAX FREE PROPHET (7) was good fresh at Bendigo and has claims. MR TICKLES (2) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exuma to win.
