GOING: G

Porter Plant BM58 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.4).  

Strong early tempo with Mulga Lil and Dashing Rebel leading the way. INTO YOU (1) will find this much easier than last start when fifth, beaten just 2 lengths in the Gold Nugget here behind Earlswood. She hasn't been back to this sort of grade in a long time and doesn't look poorly in at the weights at all. BOWER BOY (3) won his maiden well two back before a sound fourth at Seymour last time. Still improving and can figure. LOOSE ON GIN (2) has placed at his past two, beaten narrowly at Hamilton last start. He looks a good each way hope. IT'SBRUCE (5) was poor last time but can be forgiven and his form prior was sound. TOGANMAIN (7) could measure up off a maiden win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Into You to win
