GOING: G

SWEET AS CONCRETE HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Cracking pace early with Talkaboutyou, Heartford House and Mantelli leading the charge. HEARTFORD HOUSE (6) has been racing well since joining the local stable of Rick Evans and his last couple of placings followed up a handy win fresh up at good odds. He is ready now for 1200 metres and will go close to taking this out. WISE WORDS (3) finished second behind the top pick 3 starts back and led all the way to score here by half-a-length a week ago. A 2-kilo claim means that she carries less weight in a similar field and another win is not beyond her. ORTUM KRISP (5) has been placed in 3 of her last 4 starts all on this track and will appreciate having a 3-kilo weight drop this time. A handy draw helps and she should be right in the finish again. MANTELLI (1) won a trial prior to starting this campaign and has not had much luck in his last couple of starts off wide trips. He gets a big swing in the draws this time and is set to put his best hoof forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mantelli each-way.
