GOING: G(4)

Omnizar Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Fiorente Spritz to take up the running with King Of Avalon and Back Me Up Benny close at hand. SUPREME THUNDER (6) came from the clouds to snatch victory over 1430m at Naracoorte and with that kind of closing speed he’s right in the mix again if the tempo suits. OFF THE CUFF (13) doesn't win out of turn but went down narrowly last start and boasts a solid association with Tzaferis. With another honest effort she’s a live chance. COLLATED (3) didn’t fire at Balaklava but had strong form prior and is capable of bouncing back in the right conditions. HEADSMART (10) drops back to a winning tip and doesn't lose much in the saddle with Milnes taking over. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Supreme Thunder.
