GOING: S(7)

INSIDER FINANCE Class 5 Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 6.55)  

A solid tempo on the cards with Good Lieutenant heading them off. BEAUTANTES (1) hails from a handy family (half to G1 winner Startantes) and should be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Boasts a win around this circuit and gets some weight off with the 3kg claim. Should be right there when the judge calls a halt. FAT FINGERS (11) has strung two wins together on the bounce and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Drawn perfectly in gate two and it's hard to knock mares in form. Another big run is on the cards. RIVIERA BLUE (5) has hit the top-five at his past four efforts and draws the inside marble. Top-three contender. TYPHOON TIP (10) has been right there at the past couple and is a must for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,11,5,10.
