GOING: H(8)

Todd Plumbing Supplies BM52 Handicap 1600m

Track: Heavy 8   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 7.05)  

A solid tempo anticipated with Vegas On Fire and Hawkestone ahead of Vision Thing and Disclevaboy. PRESERVATOR (1) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten a long neck into third over 1625m at Werribee. This looks an ideal race and he draws perfectly in barrier three. Go close. VEGAS ON FIRE (3) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 3.5 lengths away in third over 1450m at Kilmore. Fitter and should take catching. MASTER POLANSKI (7) went back early from his wide draw over 1500m at Mornington last time but hit the line strongly to finish fourth. Should be hard to hold out despite a wide gate. FOGGY BOTTOM (4) doesn't win many but was close up last time and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Preservator to win.
