PAKENHAM   18 Oct 2024
 
GOING: S(7)

Managed Bits BM64 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo. Open race. FLYING VALLEY (2) resumed with a smart win at Bendigo, running on well from midfield over 1300m to score by two lengths. He's fresh again for this, is still lightly raced and looks set to go on with the job. FLY LIE (1) tried hard two back and has been solid again since. He draws to sit closer now and rates a hope. PRIDE OF GALWAY (4) won an easier race at Geelong but did it well and wouldn't shock. RAMPANT LION (5) gets a bit of extra ground which will suit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flying Valley to win.
