GOING: G

Hertz Mitcham BM64 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.36)  

Bold Response is the likely leader at a strong tempo. BOLD RESPONSE (2) broke through for the first time in almost a year two back in a metro BM64 and then stepped up in grade to Saturday class last time and was far from disgraced. Deserves to be considered the testing material. ATTAIN (1) is a worthy adversary, however, and while unplaced after well-backed last time the two starts prior were very good, including a second career win at this track. INTIMEOFNEED (9) looks to have the job ahead as a winning chance but can sneak a place with the right run from a good draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Attain (1) and Bold Response (2) quinella.
