GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Feed Handicap 2000m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Lack of early pace suggests a pedestrian tempo is on the cards over this journey. LODBROK (7) is a consistent type who is relatively lightly raced compared to a few of these. He was beaten less than a length last start at Cranbourne over 2060m behind a smart type and a repeat of that effort would go close here. GOVERNOR KING (6) has seven starts under his belt. He was good last start at Seymour in this grade and he draws well here. Good each way hope. DUKE OF HASTINGS (4) drops in class having been okay in some recent racing against better opposition. This suits. PROPRIETARY (8) is in the mix on best form. STAUNCH (1) has come back well and should be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lodbrok on top.
