GOING: S

Avenel Equine Hospital Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 12)   Out 12m Entire Circuit  

Just a moderate temp anticipated. Competitive. WILLABILLOO (4) will present at peak and tumbles in grade. His Caulfield effort two-back reads well and Childs rides for the first time replacing the apprentice. He has a handy gate and gets his chance. ONLY OLD ONCE (9) won a Maiden and didn't have the best of it at Geelong in 64 beaten 2.5l. John Allen sticks and can use the rails gate. She's an improver capable of bouncing. THE REAL THING (8) was narrowly beaten in the same contest in a return to form. Didn't have the best of it late and he's also been kept on the fresh side. PARIS AFFAIR (6) is another briefly freshened and he was expected to win here last time when left unexpectedly in front. Has Mott aboard today and the first-time blinkers applied. Fitter and a chance with average luck in the running. SUGGESTED PLAY: Willabilloo finds the right race.
