Port Augusta   17 May 2024
 
GOING: G

Hannahville Hotel Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1498m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Berkinson heading them off. AL RANCHERO (1) followed up his eye-catching first-up run with another solid chase into the placings at this track. Strips fitter third-up and is ready to fire. REGAL ROCKET (4) continues to find himself too far back but has managed to hit the line nicely in his last two. Can give this a big shake on best efforts. TINY REBEL (2) enjoyed a ratings spike here last start when lengthening nicely in the lane to get the verdict. Carries more weight this time but deserves respect. LADY DE LUNE (6) showed improvement here last start when battling on gamely into the minor placings. Fitter third-up and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Al Ranchero to win.
