GOING: G(3)

Elders Swan Hill BM52 Handicap 1550m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Dylan's Lad can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Dylan's Lad likely to find himself in front. JACKIE MOON (4) was solid fresh then dropped back to country grade and scored an easy win over the border. This is no easier but fitter again, back in form and has placed 2/3 when third-up. Can go on with it. DYLAN'S LAD (1) is also a last start winner, when scoring in lesser company over the border. Claim helps here and has good speed. Will take catching this trip. NORMIE NO SHOW (2) hit the frame two back at Bordertown then below best and beaten 5 lengths over a mile at Balaklava. Well placed here and is sure to play a major role. ARCHDEACON (6) was third last time at Jamestown behind Dylan's Lad and meets the winner better at the weight here. Can sneak into the finish. TIMBOLTON (7) has been thereabouts in NSW and looks a top-three hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Jackie Moon.
