#YOUCANBETONUS! MR 86 HANDICAP 2000m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 27)    

Plenty of pace from Anatolian Silver, Henry's Hedge and Jack In The Green vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. GIMME MORE TIME (2) stayed on well at the finish when fourth over 1800m on this course last time. He won a good race in his penultimate outing. Apprentice Savanna Valjalo takes 4kgs off his back which will assist his cause. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field and can notch up his fifth career victory. JACK IN THE GREEN (6) should have finished closer last time as he hung in the closing stages. He finished third in his only course and distance attempt. If jumping on terms, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest. NOTHINGELSEMATTERS (8) returns here from a spell and fresh-up has place claims. MAKHACHEV (3) bounced back to form with a second place run at this track after a less than encouraging seventh at Fairview All Weather two back. Further improvement can see him in the finish.
