GOING: G(3)

Kenso Ag Care BM52 Handicap 2000m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Tussock is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. GREATESTOFEASE (9) missed a length similar trip two back then was always well back and wide last time and never came on. Much better than that and senior rider goes on. Worth another chance in this easier line-up. WHITCHETY GRUB (8) ran a solid race last time in similar grade and looks well placed here with the claim. Winning hope. TUSSOCK (6) has the most upside of the field and looks ready to win after two runs back. Worth noting did win only other try when third-up so looks primed to fire. I LOVE THIS SONG (5) has been thereabouts over shorter races and did run well only other try this sort of journey. Can roll forward here and senior rider aboard. CIRCA (10) has been off best lately and is a long-time maiden but can run a cheeky race here with the light weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Greatestofease can atone.
