GOING: G

Sean Lawless Handicap 1454m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 1m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.71)  

Good pace from Snappy Pierro, Professor Pickles and Paint Me Red. PROFESSOR PICKLES (6) resumes and has been switched from Sydney by a top stable. He's won fresh and has looked good at the jumpouts. He will run along from an inside gate and has the first-time blinkers applied. He's right up to this. LOVIN' LAUGHS (2) is a leader who continues to race well. Found a place at Ballarat 8 days ago and will get every chance from the soft gate. PAINT ME RED (9) rates similarly and has been busting to win. Briefly freshened, and get another chance. CHEROKEE BRAVE (5) resumes and has jumped out well at Flemington. Will be at his best over longer trips, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him finishing hard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Professor Pickles appeals.
