GOING: S(5)

MiTek Class 4 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +6m 1000m-W/Post; +3m Remainder. (Pent: 4.94)  

A solid tempo is on the cards with Hi Tiago and Over Draft pushing for the lead ahead of Hot Wings and Chilled With Ice. The well-related HI TIAGO (7) (half to G3 winner Hear The Chant) returned in fine fashion with a close-up second over this course and distance and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a major role in the outcome. PALEFACE RINGO (1) got a well-deserved victory last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that win. Goes well for hoop Hellyer and can go back-to-back without surprising. GREY EFFECTS (4) resumes here but showed enough when last in work to warrant serious consideration in a race of this nature. Respect any push in betting. STANISLAUS (2) also hails from a handy family (half to G1 winner Golden Mile) and has won when fresh before. In the mix. OVER DRAFT (6) best of the rest with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,1,4,2.
