GOING: S(7)

THE CONSORTIUM CLEMENGER HANDICAP 2000m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.05)  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Hurstville Zagreb. TACT (8) won two of his last three starts in good style and deserves his chance in this. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw with the claim. Must be kept safe. EL PASO (11) progressing well after giving weight to Shangri La Impact when a game third over this trip at Hawkesbury. Gibbons' sticks and will be in this for a long way. HURSTVILLE ZAGREB (1) has needed both runs back and can get over from the gate and play a leading role. MILLIE DE LUNE (13) improving staying bred filly looking for the 2000m now. Caught the eye at Canterbury last start and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Tact.
