GOING: G

On Fire Racing Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of early pace from Hellivit and Fly Nice vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. FLY NICE (8) progressed nicely earlier in the year and her recent spell would have done her the world of good. She resumes at the right level here and meets a very open lineup. A 1.5 kilo claim will help and she should be right in the finish. TYQUENDO (14) won his final start last prep before going for a spell and is building up a very handy record on this track. A wide gate is no help but he has won twice fresh up in the past and can't be ruled out of winning this. POLARISING (10) showed a lot of promise in Queensland earlier in the year and should do well in this area. She has not missed a cheque in 3 starts fresh-up, including a win, and has to be respected. A market watch is advised. DUMMY SPIT (1) is close to another win and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fly Nice each-way.
