GOING: G

Northern Health Patrons Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.12)  

Expecting Oh No George to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. Very even with most of these struggling to break through. READY TIGER (6) has been out of the winners list for a while but run after run has been not far from the winner. Has the ability and won't get a better chance to break through. CHAR (3) is edging towards a win also. Has been in the minors at last two and like Ready Tiger won't find a better opportunity to mark one off. Low draw, trip suits and will be running into the finish. REAL ALLIANCE (8) is fitter for two runs back and is a third-up winner. Good run last time at Geelong and this is ideal now. TURFIE (7) has had the one run back with a good third here in slightly tougher grade. Looks ideally placed but will need a good steer from the poor draw. ARMALITE (2) ran a solid race in a BM64 last time. Best form stacks up and looks an each way chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ready Tiger gets chance.
