GOING: S(5)

FEDERATION STAKES- CLASS 3 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Small field but a good tempo is expected with You're Two Vain, Baggage Handler and Bridie's Luck pressing on. OVER YONDER (5) bounded for a few strides at the start and lost all chance last time out in a run worth overlooking. Has trialled satisfactorily since. Handy on his day and can put in some big final splits so watch for him finishing over the top. BRIDIE'S LUCK (8) resumes and has won here at this trip before. Beaten narrowly first-up last prep over this distance at Tatura in a BM64. In the mix if she finds that form. YOU'RE TWO VAIN (1) is back for a second campaign after a most impressive maiden prep. Raced just twice and led all the way on both occasions to score by an aggregate of eight lengths. Early favourite and if back in good shape can keep the run going. BAGGAGE HANDLER (6) returns from a 136-day absence. Generally performs well when fresh and a couple of sound recent jump-outs should have him up to the mark. TALUK (7) is going well but is a few lengths better on wet ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Over Yonder worth a small wager at odds.
