GOING: G(4)

Graham's Cleaning Supplies Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.15).  

In Your Words and Fileeta to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. FRANCINE (2) is a capable local mare resuming from a spell and she usually comes to hand quickly. She saves her best form for her home track and has the benefit of having Linda Meech in the saddle fresh up. This is her pet trip and she will be hard to hold out. FILEETA (1) won in a similar grade fresh up and then found BM64 company a bit too tough at Seymour last time out when finishing fifth but still only a couple of lengths off the winner after leading up. She is the likely pacemaker from her handy gate and could be hard to peg back in this slightly easier class. IN YOUR WORDS (8) won her maiden untouched at Mount Gambier when resuming 12 days ago and has the scope to measure up in this company as well. Stick with her on an each-way basis. ALPINOVA (7) is generally thereabouts at this level and has been holding her form over the winter. She benefits from a 2kg claim this time and should be right in the finish again. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: In Your Words each-way.

Is a second up winner in the past and can improve sharply.

Back after a long spell. Finished off last campaign second last of 10 at Colac 0 - 58 on December 16 over 1000m, 10 len behind A Good Yarn carrying 54kg at $16. First up last campaign 6th of 14 at Terang 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on November 12 2022 over 1000m, slow going 4 len behind Sheng Tong Legend with 59.5kg at $21. Will find this tougher than what he was up against prior to a spell and hard to see him improving enough to feature in this.

In this mix despite tackling a tougher assignment today.
