GOING: S

Manhari Metals Handicap 1800m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.67).  

Strong early pace expected with Strong Lady and Ambusher pushing up to set the tempo from their low draws. DAY IN HEAVEN (6) spiked her figures winning comfortably at Seymour this grade over 1600m. Expect the extra metres to suit and she can repeat the dose. RIPPA BUDDY (4) led and beat the above home in that contest and is also improved. Will make his own luck and is also a chance. MIGHT JUST HAPPEN (8) is knocking on the door and maps for a soft run. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Day In Heaven.
