GOING: S(5)

O'Briens Refrigeration F&M BM58 Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.60)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Wanted In A Gust taking charge. SOMEBODYTOLOVE (3) resumed at Cranbourne bet a $3.4 favourite but was a run short. She is proven second-up and will appreciate the step up to 1400m. Has a handy 3kg claim in easier and the first-time blinkers applied. Rates to be winning for a red-hot stable. BRAZEN BLISS (2) is fourth up and Damian Lane is a key jockey switch. Has the first time blinkers applied and a sharper effort is on the cards. YONGTAI (7) peaks back in grade and has been around the mark. Gives away starts and the longer sprint should suit. HEAVENBENT (6) draws well and will present fitter. 20% stable-striker Coffey is a positive jockey switch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Somebodytolove.
