GOING:

FINCIERGE BM55 Handicap 1400m

Track:     Rail: True.  

Not much early pace and doubt they will go hard. IN GREAT SPIRIT (5) finished one length from the winner in fifth last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 1350m at Ipswich, an improvement on her sixth at Sunshine Coast the run before. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. NORWEGIAN JOY (1) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1400m at this circuit. Better than the last run and suggests will take some running down. GALACTIC LEGEND (9) last raced on May 29 when beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth at this track over 1400m. Gets in well at the weights with the claim so expect a better run this time. STATE A FACT (7) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish fourth, beaten only 1.1 lengths, over 1400m at this venue. Top-three credentials. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,1,9,7.
