GOING: G

Hodgson Willis Memorial Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1498m

Track: Good   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Notmeanttobe. TI TREE ROYAL (2) is in top form, most recently recording a win by a long neck over this track and trip to make it two on the bounce. Will push forward again from is draw and gets a great chance to bring up the hat-trick. PEERLESS LAD (5) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score comfortably over the mile here last time. Best figures measure up and he's sure to run well. NEVER SURRENDER (1) only warmed late when finishing fourth last start over 1200m at this track, an improvement on his eighth at Balaklava the run before. Holds genuine claims on best figures and gets an important claim. Not dismissing. NOTMEANTTOBE (7) was too bad to be true last time but had been better prior. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ti Tree Royal to win.
