GOING: S(5)

Family Fun Fair at Mowbray from 23rd April Class 2 Hcp 1620m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +9m 1200m-W/Post; +7m Remainder . (Pent: 4.60)  

Pace looks to be genuine with I'm Keefe and Hartfelt matching motors in advance of Willingly and Steele My Sunshine. A good contest. LONTANO (4) just missed in a 60 this trip off a CL1 win, and the latest stacks right up. Has a low gate and can bounce back. SHY GUY (1) stepped up to this trip and won a CL1 heavily bet. Peaks today on a quick backup and can keep the ball rolling. WILLINGLY (3) won as expected over 1400m 28 days ago. She's been kept up to the mark with a trial and can make the finish. RALPH THE ROCKET (5) peaks and will find this grade more suitable. The inside gate needs managing, but he gets in well and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Lontano.
