GOING: G

Good Year Autocare Echuca Moama BM52 Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.37)  

Expecting Shez Steamin' to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. Typically challenging BM52, where a few dropping back from 58 grade get their best chance of victory in a while. One of those is KULINA (10), who was beaten just 1.5 lengths at Seymour last start. Looks the testing material. WARLIST (8) relished dropping back to 52 grade last time out, beaten just three-quarters-of-a-length, and doesn't need to improve much to be a force here with the wide gate his biggest issue. THE WOKE WAITER (2) resumes, but has a solid first-up record with three placings from four starts and was a winner last time he stepped out in 52 grade. AND SHE WAS (6) ran on well last start to fill the placings and has claims on that effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kulina each way.
