GOING:

RACING240 FM 78 HANDICAP 2000m

Track: STANDARD      

Many of these are capable of being prominent early so a genuine staying test should unfold. HELIOTROPE (2) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 2200m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five runs. Top chance again. HOMING PIGEON (5) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 2200m at this track. Has the class to get the prize. LANA VIEW (7) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when second over 2000m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to return to winning form. BACK FOR MORE (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1600m. Nicely placed to run well.
