GOING: G

Go Seymour BM62 Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Strong pace from Eternal Darkness, Keepsake and Zoubelle. KEEPSAKE (9) is a lightly raced mare who has always promised plenty of ability, starting firmly in the market in three runs to date and in good company as well. She ran first up at Ballarat over this trip and wasn't far away in fourth as an even money favourite, off an 11 month spell there. She should strip much fitter now and did bolt in with her maiden at her only second up run to date. FUROSSHI (8) is racing well without winning, beaten a neck at Bendigo last time out. She doesn't win out of turn but won't need to improve much and Beau Mertens has been aboard for both of her wins. ETERNAL DARKNESS (4) resumes for his second campaign. He looked smart in his maiden campaign, beating a handy one at start two. Keeping safe. ZOUBELLE (10) resumes for a new yard and has ability, beating a handy one as favourite before a spell. Watch the market. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keepsake to win.
