GOING: G

DCE Handicap 2000m

Track: Good 3   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: Out 2m Entire Circuit.  

Aseventy Seven is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. GLOBAL ECLIPSE (6) has tested the patience of punters lately but did pull up with a throat issue at Sandown Lakeside last time out having been close up in three runs prior. This looks a winnable race and he can break through. FAM GORMAN (4) was close up there at Sandown last time when sticking on for a narrow defeat. He doesn't win out of turn but a repeat of that run will see him very hard to beat. ASEVENTY SEVEN (1) is flying, winning three of his past four, lugging a huge weight to score in a BM56 at Colac last time out. He'll land in a good spot here and can measure up again. CYCLONE HARMONY (5) has been good in his past couple, working to the line well in a good form race last time. He should be hard to hold out again. QUITE THE LASS (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Global Eclipse to win.
