GOING: G(4)

Brad Masters Plumbing Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. Not the strongest race and LET'SFACETHEMUSIC (1) won't get a better chance to return to winning ways. At his best, he'd be taking care of this field however two runs back have been solid without really threatening. Regardless, they've been in better company than this, and he should get every chance now. DARTS DALY (3) resumes. He was racing consistently last time in work, albeit struggling first up at Warrnambool before hitting his straps. 1200m fresh should suit and he can figure. WHITE BEAR (8) was okay first up for the new yard having struggled to recapture his best form for a while. At his best he'd go very well here and he gets in very light after the 4kg claim which suggests he'll be ridden to lead. IMMORTAL STAR (7) struggled here last time off a solid return but has each-way claims. MAGARTEN (2) resumes and may find them a touch sharp but can work home late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Let'sfacethemusic to win.
