Rosehill   09 Nov 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

TAB HANDICAP 2400m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.35)  

Expecting Fleet Commander and Fretta to pair off in front. The regally bred FLEET COMMANDER (2) is racing through his grades nicely. Relished the step up to 2400m last start when he led all the way and easily put away a midweek BM78 field at the Kensington track. This doesn't look all that much harder so with a similar weight he should run them along again and prove tough to catch. ROARING ENGINE (3) brings a better form line to the race, his last start second to Whisky On The Hill over this trip at Caulfield an eye-catching performance at big odds. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and should run another big race. KADAVAR (5) was held up at a vital stage when runner-up to subsequent Saturday winner State Of America over 2140m at Warwick Farm last time. Won at his only try at this trip and drops 4kgs so there is plenty to like. FRETTA (11) was good behind a handy type last time. Each-way chance at nice odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Fleet Commander and Roaring Engine.
