GOING: G(4)

ive > Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Lincolnshire, Sugar Coat and Rue De Royale to take up the running at a strong tempo. KALKALLO (4) brings the right form into this, trying hard in the Bendigo Guineas last start when closing well for a narrow second to Wonder Boy. He actually drops 4kg off that effort and with any luck from a wide gate he looks the one to beat. NOSTRINGSATTACHED (1) is a progressive type who won three in a row, measuring up last start at Listed level in Sydney. Has the full 60kg here but Shinn is on and he should take beating. RUE DE ROYALE (2) stuck on well in the Bendigo Guineas and has claims. Will be up on speed and making them all chase him down. SUGAR COAT (7) didn't threaten first up and this is tougher but the late splits were good and fitter now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kalkallo to win.
