GOING: H(8)

GLENROY CHAFF HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +14m Entire.  

Strong pace from Tiger Tank, London's Rascal and Riseanfall, with Flip The Pattys and Snip Of Romance on their heels. FLIP THE PATTYS (2) sustained a long run first-up at Northam to score in impressive fashion, running away to win by 2L. He remains at 1200m, with the race shaping similarly from an outside barrier. Can build on the impressive debut win. TIGER TANK (4) was a strong winner fresh before stepping up to 1200m last start and feeling the pinch late in the race. The inside draw should see him up front again back to 1000m and he can return to winning ways third-up. RISEANFALL (3) has been sparingly campaigned to begin her career, coming off a long break last start at Belmont where she was 2.8L off the winner after leading them up. She'll be better for that effort and her maiden victory came when she was second-up. Can give a bold sight. DARK AVALANCHE (1) has made a strong start to his career and it wouldn't surprise to see him return on a winning note. EARL IT IS (5) won't be far away fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flip The Pattys can go back-to-back.
