GOING: G

Lest We Forget Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Small field but New Enterprise, Bart's Bullet and Rising Fire can ensure a genuine tempo. ZOURISKY (5) was a beaten favourite in a slightly tougher field last time out after winning easily in this grade before that. She steps right up to a mile in an interesting move but it could be what she needs to find the winners' circle again. Follow your money. BART'S BULLET (3) was a tough winner by a head in lesser company on this track just under a fortnight ago and he normally holds his form. He carries the same weight and has been very competitive at this level in the past. Stick with him on an each-way basis. RISING FIRE (4) doesn't win often but is seldom far from the action. He will be peaking third up and certainly deserves another win. NEW ENTERPRISE (2) raced his way into full fitness and broke through for a deserved win last start in a similar lineup. He has no issue with a mile and is capable of winning again. SUGGESTED PLAY: New Enterprise each way.
