GOING: S(7)

PETERS INVESTMENTS HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

God Has Drifted, Poblano and Gold Flakes can set a genuine tempo. SEARCHIN' TIMES (4) worked through the grades impressively last campaign before a disappointing end to last campaign. She did jump favourite in a stronger race there though and she rates highly back to this company on resumption. Looks to get plenty in her favour and can return with a bang. SPICY THANG (6) jumped favourite in a BM66+ last start and was gunned down late after looking the winner on straightening. Pike reunites with her now and a wet deck won't be an issue. Has the speed to work across from out wide and can land the knockout blow third-up. POBLANO (8) is a nice mare on the rise, returning with a bang and the horse she beat coming out and winning last week. Loses Pike, but she returned with a new career best and with further improvement expected, she can extend her winning run. ROCK THE MARKET (9) looks to get plenty of favours here and is not to be discounted. DELTASON (2) has to be included after a good return effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Searchin' Times can return with a win.
