GOING: S

Davis Blinds 0 - 58 Highweight Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 10)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.53).  

A keen early battle to ensue between Zouly, Little Rich Boy and Boadicea from Zeehak. MIGHT JUST HAPPEN (6) brings good relative form to resumption and is proven fresh. He can secure a soft run and still has room for improvement. BOADICEA (5) resumes with a near miss and just missed a place after. She will be further improved and will get every chance. SO YOU CAN (3) was out-graded at Murray Bridge but found a place prior in a 66. Has an inside draw and hits this at peak. A much better effort is likely. LOAD AND GO (2) got too far back at Edenhope but raced well at Penola prior. Draws low today and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Might Just Happen.
