GOING: G(4)

HIGGINS COATINGS Class 3 Handicap 1805m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: 1 metre Entire.  

Genuine tempo with Amahni's Girl to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. MAZIS (3) has placed over this course and distance and will be cherry-ripe now third-up from the break. Respect with Maloney on top. The well-related SUNLORD (5) (half to 2xG2 winner Splintex) is yet to miss a drum in three starts over this track and trip and has been racing very consistently of late. In the mix. The penny has dropped for MAN OF THE TOWN (4) who has strung three wins together on the bounce this preparation. Hard to ignore winning form. DUSHENKA (12) is lightly raced and has plenty of upside. Include in calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,5,4,12.
