GOING: S(5)

SIMMONS LIVINGSTONE & ASSOCIATES OPEN Handicap - Weights Raised 0.5kg 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.76).  

Reasonable tempo with Secret Plan probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. A shame for a few key scratchings. PLUNDERING (12) had been racing honestly this campaign before finally breaking through for a well-deserved victory over this distance range at Doomben last time out. Winning hoop Stewart sticks in the saddle and should get a gun run in transit from the inside alley. Can go right on with the job now. SECRET PLAN (9) loves this journey and gets some weight relief with the claim. In the mix. HARDWARE LANE (4) and BLAZE A TRAIL (2)best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Plundering to win again.
