GOING: F

Hodgson Willis Memorial Rating 0 - 52 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Royalz and Lightscameraaction are both expected to press forward and take it up. REDWINELOVER (4) looks ready to strike after a solid run at Mt Gambier last start. Doesn't win out of turn but he’s been racing well enough to be given serious respect. A THOUSAND DEGREES (5) was game in defeat at this track last start, finishing just a neck off the winner. Peaking now fourth-up and finds a winnable race here. NOT A SINGLE BID (6) is knocking on the door and should find this easier. Genuine threat. EASTSIDE DIAMOND (9) hasn’t been at her best of late but is capable of turning things around in the right race. Keep an eye on any market support. ROYALZ (12) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Redwinelover gets the nod.
