GOING: G(4)

Ecycle Solutions BM64 Hcp 2700m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.37)  

Hey Bro'unga, Octahedron and Cool King to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. Open race. LANDGRAVE (9) is racing consistently, coming back slightly in trip from the 3000m he's contested at his past couple. The win over 2500m at Pakenham three back was solid and he should be right in this. HEY BRO'UNGA (8) finally found the right maiden and won well enough last time as a $1.35 chance. He's a real grinding type so 2700m won't be an issue and he may be able to go on with it now. THE TRUE BELIEVER (4) was a narrow winner in easier company two back, good again last time in a Kyneton Bm58 highweight. He maps well for this and can figure. KAILASH (2) is going okay, coming back to the flat off a hurdle run last time. The run two back at Wangaratta is sound for this. SUFFOLK STAR (5) has to be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Landgrave.
