GOING: S

Kelly Partners 0 - 58 Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

From their wide draws Ze Bee Nine, Game Theory and Shooter Mcgavin should press hard to cross and take it up. The form of CHARITIES (8) doesn't read all that flash at first glance, but those recent starts have been in much tougher races than this. Hasn't been in 0-58 grade since the run at Stawell back in December, which he won, and he has drawn well here. TARTAN BELLE (7) made an encouraging return, is suited by the slight rise in trip and has drawn to get a soft run. KOWHAI (5) ran well at the first start for the new stable and while he has had a gap between runs, was kept up to the mark with a Kilmore trial. WRITTEN BY YOU (9) should be fitter after two runs back and is drawn well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Charities to win.
