GOING: G(3)

Warrack Motel Handicap 2000m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.54).  

The Penske File expected to take the lead and control the tempo. ALPINE ROCKET (2) registered a strong finishing maiden win at Ararat before getting out the back and failing to run on last time. Smaller field here a plus. Look for improvement. SIDEREAL (3) only has the two wins from 25 starts and can mix his form, but looks to have found a highly suitable race. Expected to feature prominently. TALLINGAS PRINCE (1) had good support and showed a win is not far away with his performance at Benalla last week. Looks suited here. Should go close. FORTUNATE GAL (8) is still a maiden but did work home well at Horsham last time. Extra trip here suits. Is worth considering. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Alpine Rocket and Sidereal to win.
