GOING: G(4)

Asset Painting Services Handicap 2000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Without on-pacers engaged it may turn into a sprint home. OUTCASTER (8) looks well placed to bounce back here. Just missed fresh then tackled far rougher grade last time here and was safely held, beaten four lengths. Drops in grade for this and gets chance to atone. ALL SO CLEAR (3) is steadily edging towards a breakthrough. Third two back in similar race at Ballarat then runner-up and beaten less than a length last time. Drawn to feature. STARDEALT (7) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start over 1700m at Geelong. Much better over the border the start prior and is well placed this field. Can bounce back. MIDORI MOVER (5) got home well for second two back then was a close-up fourth last time. Nearing a win and among the chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Outcaster can bounce back.
