GOING: G

Grand Ridge Arenas Class 1 Handicap (Chute) 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 30)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. DAELLA (4) has placed in all three starts this time in, not far away in a very similar race over this track and trip last time out. Only needs to hold that form to be fighting out the finish. TRANSACTIONS (3) broke through for a narrow maiden win at Geelong when last seen. Might be able to measure up again. BECAUSEYOU'RE MINE (1) resumes. He won dominantly on debut at Bairnsdale in a small field and was tipped out. Will need to improve for this but has upside. MINAMISHIMA (6) is a place chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Daella to win.
