GOING: H

Moe Optical 0-58 Handicap 1014m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.85).  

Tempo solid with Sir Freddie booting up on the inside while Royal Lane drives forward from an outside draw. Competitive. SLEEPING TIGER (11) has found a place at his last three and comes back in grade. Like it wet and finds a winnable assignment. ROYAL LANE (8) will skip over to the speed and peaks off three solid efforts. Has a handy 2kg claim and she looks capable of fighting out the finish. ANGERSTEIN (5) ran a good relative figure when breaking Maidens at Cranbourne. Maps for a soft run and the in-form Maloney stays aboard. SIR FREDDIE (2) will use the rail and will be much sharper second up. His best would give him a hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Sleeping Tiger.
