GOING: S

AIG Security Handicap 1508m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: +4m 1200m-W/Post, True Remainder. . (Pent: 6.25)  

Strong pace with Tupoleu, France's Boy and Thermodynamic pushing forward, closely attended by Hot Strut and Shisuta Bo. Excited to see TALISAY (7) return to the races for the first time this season. She showed above-average ability as a 3YO and has more upside than most of her rivals here. Interesting placement to run fresh over 1500m but happy to back the stable in. She is a first-up winner previously and gets Milnes. THERMODYNAMIC (1) won at Murray Bridge last week and shapes as a winning chance again. SHISUTA BO (3) draws well and is up to winning a race like this at her best. TUPOLEU (2) will make his own luck and can run a cheeky race at each-way odds, while PERCIDIAN (9) is worth including if the track is suiting run-on horses. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Talisay each-way.
