GOING: G

Foote Handicap 1106m Track: GOOD 3 Clear (Max: 17) Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.32).
Fast pace assured with Doogan's Design and I Am Geronimo leading the charge. SMART LITTLE MISS (9) wasn't beaten far at Sandown-Lakeside and at Bendigo following. The former NSW galloper is good enough and maps well. A decent chance. MATAO MA (1) was quickly back on track winning the 62 comfortably. Has a wide gate and that makes it tougher. The 2kg claim is handy. BUZZ CITY (6) resumes for a top metro barn owning a Cranbourne trial win. He races forward and won't have to be much improved to threaten. DAZE OFF (11) made it two wins from three starts in easier grade. She has upside and will race forward. Keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smart Little Miss each way.
