GOING: G

Emmetts 0-58 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.23).  

Nothing to run them along here so the pace looks even at best. NULLAFIORD (7) was beaten home by a couple of rivals here when she resumed, but she will be better for that and is a second-up winner in the past. CHELSEA TOFF (6) is another last-start winner who looked to appreciate the return to firmer footing and looks a key player on a Good track. NO CASH HERE (3) was well-held last time out but was good the start prior and only needs luck in running, which he could get from a nice alley. MISS TALLCHIEF (9) looks like she needs to improve, but recent starts have been in tougher races than this and she too looks well drawn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nullafiord each-way.

Second-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at Donald 0 - 58 September 14 over 1206m defeating Gusmao carrying 57.5kg at $8.50.
