GOING: G(4)

Geelong Taxi Network BM64 Handicap 1112m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Miss Swift to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. MR MAGNUS (2) is racing consistently, not further back than fourth in his past four. That was last start when beaten under a length at Pakenham last time out. Only needs to hold that form to be going awfully close. MISS SWIFT (7) resumes. She's a three-year-old filly who showed some promise last time in, getting over a bit further at the end of last campaign. May find this a touch sharp but has the ability with Shinn booked. KID DYNAMITE (5) won his maiden at Donald as a short priced favourite when last seen, just his second career start. Have to respect again. TIZ TIME (3) is a lightly raced type who has shown ability. She boasts a win over Miraval Rose and has jumped out well enough for this. DARCEANDERMILL (4) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Magnus on top.
