GOING: G

Hygain Tracktorque Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.35)  

Expecting a strong tempo with Queen Amanjena, Nodachi and Stellar Mofeed going forward ahead of Rosa Juliet and Privalova. NODACHI (1) can bounce back here. Not convinced she runs a mile strongly, struggling over 1590m at Wangaratta last time out. The run two back when second at Sandown Lakeside, beaten a head, reads well for this. This is easier and the trip suits better. STELLAR MOFEED (5) is racing very consistently without winning this time in, trying hard behind the in-form Merrigold at Moonee Valley last start. That form should hold up here. SOMEBODYTOLOVE (4) was a smart winner two back which saw her start $1.70 at Sale in this grade last time out. Can bounce back strongly. ROSA JULIET (3) won well fresh at Benalla and should strip fitter while SNATCHED (8) resumes having shown some ability last time in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nodachi to win.
1 2x027 NODACHI

Most recently led to the turn then faded 7th of 9 at Wangaratta Bm70 on March 1 over 1590m, 5.5 len behind Call Him Iggy with 57.5kg at $3.30. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 on February 19 over 1400m, head behind Charisse with 57.5kg at $4.80. Back in trip suits much better, she's right up to this.
