GOING: G

MC Labour BM64 Handicap 1450m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.50)  

Molly The Magician and Homecoming look to take it up. Liked the return of HURRICANE GEORGIE (4) last time at Pakenham when sixth but beaten only two lengths. Was a second-up winner the previous campaign and with the run under the belt should go close. SPIRIT OF JO (8) was good fresh at Flemington then didn't have a lot go right when last and beaten 3.5 lengths at Sandown. Much better than that and well-placed here. Gets her chance to atone. INEZ (5) was a good fresh-up winner here then was four lengths away at Caulfield Heath latest. Fitter again and this suits. Can improve sharply. MOLLY THE MAGICIAN (6) was a maiden winner two back then prominent throughout latest when third in a BM58 latest. Racing well and among the main hopes. HOMECOMING (7) bolted in to win the maiden last time and has upside. Could go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Hurricane Georgie.
