GOING: G

Goolwa Central Meats Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 2050m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: +3m W/Post-400m, True Remainder.  

Just a moderate speed anticipated given the absence of on-pace gallopers. FANTASTIC HOST (4) has been doing his best work late but gets the chance to take closer order this time from a kinder draw. Drops back to a winning trip on the quick back-up and gets a senior hoop in Pannell on. Can get the verdict. THE TANK (3) was poor last time in town but was ticking along nicely prior. Has a wide alley to overcome but the distance suits and he has tasted success here before. Can improve sharply. FLYING ASSASSIN (1) will appreciate the drop in grade as he returns to a favoured trip. 2kg claimer reunites and has a strong association. Can give this a good shake. BUSH INFERENCE (5) got the bob two back at Naracoorte over a similar trip, before a disappointing effort last time. Boasts a handy record over this course and distance and is a winning hope again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Fantastic Host.

The race before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Naracoorte Bm 56 November 2 over 2000m on a rain affected track defeating Four Outlaws carrying 55.5kg at $6.50. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.
