GOING: G

Tyrepower Shepparton BM62 Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 2m 700m - 300m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.60)  

Good early pressure with Hydrogen Power or Emmcee likely to take up the running. AKA DAKA (8) is racing consistently and looks nicely placed in this. He beat one with consistent form to break his maiden two back at Ararat, okay last time on wet ground at Pakenham in a tougher race last time. This should suit better and he maps for every chance. FRONTLINE ACTION (1) resumes. He's a handy type who contested some strong 3yo races last time in, placing in the Mahogany Challenge Final at Flemington over 2500m. He looks a bit dour for this trip but class will take him a long way. CHOSEN VENTURE (10) was poor at Donald last time and struggles to win but prior form has him thereabouts. MAID IN DUBAI (5) may be better suited back in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aka Daka to win.
