GOING: G(4)

Hygain Class 1 Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +4m 1000m-W/Post; +2m Remainder. (Pent: 5.66)  

Hot tempo expected from Our Impact and Torque Of Dreams. Former Victorian KATHY'S ROSE (3) is having her first run for the new barn but should find this easier than what she faced down south. Has been tuned up for this with a recent trial victory and is sure to be right there at the business end. OUR IMPACT (4) is another first-up but the form he showed in his first preparation was good enough for a race like this. Can return a winner. TIPPED OFF (5) has a win and a second from three attempts over this sprint journey and maps ideally from gate two. Watch for him late in the piece. MISTER TIA (9) just ran into one better last time out and is a must for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Kathy's Rose.
