bet365 Protest Promise 0-58 Handicap 1100m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43).  

Genuine tempo from It's There leading. Tricky. SHAL EXCEED (1) resumes for a strong metro yard and has shown enough to suggest this is winnable. Maps for the run of the race and he will be naturally improved. Rawiller rides and is striking at 23% at this track (71 rides). ZOULON (2) got too far back at Wangaratta in tougher class. He was narrowly beaten here prior and that reads well. Gives way starts but has a handy 2kg claim and with average luck is a chance to bounce. SUPERIOR FORCE (8) has disappointed his last two but was tracking along okay prior. Some trust is required with him but he will be around the mark with average luck. DEFENCE FORCE (4) resumes and also holds appeal. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: The betting will be key with Shal Exceed.
