Track: AW   Rain (Max: 27)    

Joshua Hotsnake has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SAIL TO THE MOON (2) seems to be one of the few with more upside. Had first try this distance here last time and was a determined winner. Can make it two on the trot. GORGEOUS DUDE (3) ran on well for a close-up fifth last time. Attractively weighted although no better off against the winner. Best figures stack up though and worth another chance. MAC HARDY (1) came through the same race and was safely held but had a poor start and was always well back. Meets the winner better at the weights and could be the value. LOU LOU THE LEGEND (8) was the horse that beat that pair and drops significantly in the weights so has to be included again.

Third-up today. Comes off a 43 day let-up. Resuming won by 0.5 len at this track October 3 over 1400m defeating Ultra Quick carrying 58.5kg at $5. Second run from a spell 8th of 10 at this track on October 27 over 1400m, 6 len behind Lou Lou The Legend carrying 61.5kg at $7.50. Poor start last time so worth forgiving. Big weight drop and goes well course and distance,
