GOING: G

James Vac Solutions BM58 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.4).  

Joon Ho to take up the running at a moderate tempo. RULE OF TIME (1) was a winner at BM64 level two starts back at Geelong before a close-up third there last time. Comes back in grade here, hence the weight, and looks well placed from the inside draw. MISS BARILOCHE (5) was off a two-month break last start at Hamilton in this grade and worked home well to grab third. Fitter for that, the rise in trip will suit and she draws well. VINO GRANDE (9) is lightly raced having won fresh before tackling a stronger race at Flemington. Can bounce back. KHANT BEE (2) can be forgiven on heavy ground last time. Watch for sharp improvement. OVERFLOW MISS (10) will be fitter off a sound fresh run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rule Of Time to win.
