GOING: H(8)

CHILL-RITE CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Small field in which Mostro can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. TANGO QUEEN (11) boxed on bravely at the same trip last time out and looks a real winter style of horse. Massive appeal with a low draw and less weight in play. HOMERIC (7) delivered a progressive maiden win last start at a similar trip. Faces a stiffer test now but overall record is the right reading. In the mix again. The lone career win of MOSTRO (2) came at this distance. Expect he will be ready to fire first up. MORNINGTON PIER (1) has a good record here and has been readied with a couple of trials so keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tango Queen win.
