GOING: G

C+M Build Group Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.44)  

Genuine tempo from Flying Knee leading Fugacity. IT'SWHATYOUMAKEIT (1) won a Wangaratta jump-out and was much too good for the Yarra Glen Maidens first on debut. It was a strong effort, suggesting he can take the next step. John Allen is a key jockey engagement. FUGACITY (4) comfortably won an Avoca 58 as expected. He races forward and rates a live chance. DEMON BLOOD (2) has needed his two runs this preparation. He is proven third-up and his best would see him right in the finish. MY BOY NICK (3) won back-to-back and then found a 64 at Bendigo a bit rich. He didn't have the best of it, and the veteran will go a lot better in this grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with It'swhatyoumakeit.
