Sportsbet Race Replays BM70 Handicap 1200m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

From an inside barrier Estrapaz can set a decent tempo. Competitive. CORNER OFF (10) was nudged out twice at Moonee Valley at this level and then resumed with a near miss at Geelong in a 64. She has an awkward barrier but hasn't missed a beat and has been kept on the fresh side. Has her first go here and fitter is a strong chance. TAKASHIMA (12) won a 58 here as expected and the extra 200m shouldn't bother. Has weight relief and Stackhouse replaces the apprentice. In a leading metro barn and has plenty of scope for improvement. RUMINATE (8) resumed and was only beaten a half-length here behind Morning Darling. Presents fitter and finally draws an inside barrier. Go well. No knock on MORNING DARLING (7) who impressed when he belted home from the back in that contest. Jumps form the outside gate and that's the niggle. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Corner Off.
