GOING: S

Yackandandah Park BM58 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43).  

Grisbi's Pal has good gate speed and is likely to set a genuine tempo with the advantage of the inside draw. GOLDEN ESTRELLA (6) is lightly-raced and has returned this campaign with solid efforts at Cranbourne and Pakenham. Looks nicely off here and is expected to go close. GYMKHANA (5) won well first-up at Pakenham and then made some late ground at Moe last time. Will be further improved and should make a bold bid. THUNDER AWARD (2) has returned with two pleasing runs at Geelong and Pakenham, when just behind the placegetters. Strips even fitter this time and must be included in the hopes. FUZZ BUZZ (3) was a Cranbourne winner in March and three runs since have been mixed, but on her best form is capable of taking this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Golden Estrella to win.
