GOING: G

bet365 0-58 Handicap 1400m Track: GOOD 4 Clear (Max: 21) Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.41).
Plenty of early pressure from Take The Prize, Paint Me Red and Oliver Bullet battling for the lead over Itsukushima. FIRST TOSEN (2) resumed with a solid effort at Oakbank. Will take plenty of benefit from that outing and looks nicely placed in this company. Should take beating. AOIFE (6) kicked off campaign with a narrow win on home track at Bendigo before making late ground at Kerang last time. Looks nicely off here and is sure to make a bold bid. TAKE THE PRIZE (7) has figured in the placings at past six appearances including a win at Stawell. Has been freshened for this and must be respected. PAINT ME RED (4) led and knocked up on home track at Mornington last time. Previous form had been solid and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back First Tosen to win.

The start before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 10 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw on March 17 over 1600m, nose behind Koyuga Breeze carrying 57.5kg at $2.60. Last-start winner that is worth including	6 MADISON LLOYD
