GOING: G(4)

Dale Huebner BM66 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good34   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43)  

Strong tempo with Asawin, Billie Bronx and Got Out The Fence going forward ahead of Shalailed and Damas. SACRAMENTAL (3) is having his first run since August 6, but that is a plus for him given he's had three first-up runs for two wins and a second. Kicked off last prep with a win over 1400m at Echuca. Placed in a recent trial and has found the right race to kick off the campaign. DAMAS (2) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 3.5 lengths over 1200m at Warrnambool. In great form and is well-placed to feature again. GOT OUT THE FENCE (5) has won three of his past four and while the only recent failure came in this class of race, he's going that well that he deserves another chance. SHALAILED (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start at Caulfield, but this is much more suitable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sacramental to win.
