GOING: G

Kevin Hicks Real Estate BM56 Handicap 1980m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.45)  

Cable De Vega, Ahab and Vision Thing can set up a solid gallop. TIERRA (4) looks suited rising in trip fourth up from a spell having hit the line well for third at Geelong over 1715m last time out in what looks a stronger race. Sets up well tracking the speed here from the inside gate and with any luck in the straight she should go close. AHAB (2) is racing consistently, placing in his past two. He needs another win being stuck on the one from 22 attempts but should roll forward and provide some resistance. MON ETOILE (6) hasn't really fired in three runs this time in but wasn't far away in a stronger race last time despite finishing seventh and could be an improver now. COOMOROO LADY (10) draws well and can figure on an each way basis. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tierra to win.
