GOING: G(4)

OTT - Race Retrain Rehome Class 2 Hcp 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 4.56)  

A solid tempo on the cards with Crystal Moonbeam taking charge. LIVE ON LOVE (3) wound up well last time over 1200m at this track to finish third. Looks suited first attempt at this trip and fitter again will pay to follow up with the top hoop engaged. CRYSTAL MOONBEAM (6) stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by one length over 1200m at this track. Will go forward and is worth another crack over this distance. TRIBAL COUNCIL (1) won twice here but has been plainer at Launceston the two since. This is easier than the latest, and the 4kg claim brings him into it. TOGANMAIN (7) led and won a CL1 first up this track/trip as a firm favourite. Had switched from a Victorian yard and is likely to keep improving. CARNELIAN ROCK (8) has a 2kg claim and rates well enough. He isn't out of this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Live On Love.
