GOING: G(4)

Mackay Gaming BM62 Handicap 2000m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: True Entire Course.  

Good tempo with several going forward, primarily Cash Artist, Eagle Warrior and Flyball. THE PENSKE FILE (2) made it three wins in a row last start when he scored by a neck over 2000m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can salute once again. SHOCKSTAR (3) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 2200m at Bairnsdale. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and three minor placings from eight outings and is sure to run well. MORDECAI (6) turned things around last start and got the job done by 3.5 lengths over 1560m here. Going up a level this time but he can win again. TORQUE ESPAGNA (9) was beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth in a 1560m contest at this venue last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Penske File to continue the picket fence.
