GOING: S(5)

THE AGENCY REAL ESTATE HANDICAP 1550m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.03)  

Solid pace with Helen's Way finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. RACH (4) relished the drop in weight and extra distance with a comfortable victory over 1400m at Newcastle in the soft (7) going. Comes to town now full of confidence and expected to go close. WOUNDER (9) fifth-up for this after mixing his distances of late. Gripped on late in the heavy going with a respectable fourth over 1900m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Back in trip in what looks a weaker race and sure to be thereabouts. PAWA (5) took control early from the inside gate second-up when he led throughout to score a dominant win over 1600m at Hawkesbury in the heavy going. Similar setup for this and looks up to this grade. POLO (6) finally lived up to expectations out to the 1600m with a hard-fought neck win at Hawkesbury. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,9,5,6.
