GOING: G

HEDDI'S HAIR SALON HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Exporose is expected to lead at a slick tempo. The speedy EXPOROSE (4) made the hat-trick with a comfortable win at York and then tackled stronger at Belmont and gave it away late. Much better suited today, and Faithful is engaged. Tough to peg back around here. AROOCHACHA (8) resumes and has won 2/5 fresh. Carries a feather with the 4kg claim, and he has pieces of form in stronger that stack right up. WISE WORDS (2) is third up and has more to offer. Never really got going last time but went well first-up prior. AND THEN WHAT (3) resumed improved winning this grade over 1000m, and then things didn't work out as favourite following. Strips fitter and is a chance if the wide barrier is managed. A hope finding his best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Exporose.
