GOING: S

Reed Cranes & Haulage F&M BM70 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.84).  

Expecting Vegas On Fire to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. TASS (6) found the 2000m too far at Caulfield but drops back to a mile here and should find this a touch easier. She's always promised a bit and could bounce back here. GREAT TASTE (4) was good on resumption at Pakenham when hitting the line well over 1400m. Fitter and up in trip here suits. Big chance. DANE ON TOUR (2) can mix her form but was better last time at Mornington and is a chance off that. VEGAS ON FIRE (7) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tass on top.
