GOING: S

Duttons - Easy To Do Business With Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.08)  

A strong gallop is likely with Fickle and Sir Now taking up the running, closely attended by The Great Baby and Vintage Star. SIR NOW (2) has been a revelation for connections with three wins from five starts this campaign. He will make his own luck somewhere near the speed and looks the type that can lift the bar again. He's the one to beat. WINNING REVOLUTION (8) looks ready to recapture his best form after a luckless run at Morphettville last start. He will concede a start but he has a brilliant finish. The track should suit horses running on. It's impossible to knock DEEPFLOAT DIVA (7), who doesn't ever run badly and brings winning form to this. MAGIC MAX (5) and VINTAGE STAR (9) can add some value to the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sir Now to win and having an each-way play on Winning Revolution.
