GOING: G

Festival Hire Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1100m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 23) Rail: True.
Laila's A Gem and Fluffy Bunny Feet to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. BITE YOUR TONGUE (9) doesn't win out of turn but has turned in some solid performances of late. Narrowly went under last start at Port Lincoln when sent out public elect. Worth another go. CHAMPAGNE AFFAIR (12) has put his best foot forward in most runs this campaign, just narrowly missing the frame last start at Clare. Gets in low at the weights with the 3kg claimer on and she only needs to hold her form to be very competitive. JIMMY DA DOZER (10) was ninth when resuming last start over 1100m at Clare. Strips fitter and expected to feature. ZOUTONS (2) stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when he finished sixth over 1000m at Port Lincoln on April 7. Definite winning chance. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Bite Your Tongue.
