GOING: S

ATC Insurance Solutions Handicap 1230m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 6m 1700m - 800m. Out 7m Remainder.  

Rolling Moss can roll to the front and set a solid clip. WALTER SPUR (7) is racing well, last seen finishing second at Sale behind the smart Mansiere. The run prior he bumped into Pharari, beaten 9 lengths but not far off the placegetters. Gets the services of Blake Shinn on board and should prove hard to hold out. ZOUPURRING (6) was hard in the market first-up at Wangaratta and was okay. Fitter for that and a slight rise in trip can see him in the finish. BOURBON ROAD (8) resumes. He was around the mark last time in and is the right hands. Can get into the finish. MICHELOTTI (14) resumes. He's likely to get back from the draw but should be hitting the line strongly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Walter Spur to win.
