Signarama Echuca Moama BM64 Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.70)  

Solid tempo with The Wayfarer leading from Read My Lips and Spinosaurus. PER SEMPRE (6) seeks the hat-trick off a nice win this grade at Seymour. She gives away starts, and that's the slight niggle. READ MY LIPS (3) is also shooting for a hat-trick, building on a spacious first-up win at Corowa in a 66. Maps for the run of the race and the 2kg claim brings him right into it. MORNING DARLING (1) has been off the scene for 418 days, but he has good ability and jumped out well. The 3kg claim is handy, and he's worth a look. THE WAYFARER (10) is a veteran sprinter who finished fifth last time over 975m at Swan Hill. Comes into calculations as does BON SHADOW (4) who has claims if he can replicate his win from two starts ago. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,3,1,10.
