GOING: S

Hip Pocket LV Handicap 1117m Track: SOFT 7 Rain (Max: 15) Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.6).
Just an even tempo anticipated. BANGHOLME (5) produced a solid effort at Yarra Valley two runs back then wasn't disgraced in tougher grade last time. Looks nicely off here and a forward showing is expected. TAKASHIMA (4) was a debut winner at Swan Hill last year before a break. Two runs this campaign have been full of merit and he looks well placed in this company. Won't be too far away. CRACKHORN (1) has performed well in both runs this campaign against tougher opposition than he meets here. Gets on home track here and is sure to make a bold bid. COOL HEART (8) has featured in the placings in four of her past five starts. Looks well-placed in this company and is expected to give this a shake. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Bangholme and Takashima to win.
