GOING: G

Vale Barbara Phelan BM64 Handicap 1143m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 8m 1700m - 800m, Out 10m Remainder.  

Strong tempo assured with Majestic Reward, Champagne Doctor and Fourthtimelucky rolling to the front. TORONADO BOOM (3) presents third up, having won his maiden fresh at big odds before a respectable effort at Sandown Hillside last time. Back in the right race here, Damian Lane rides and he should get every chance in the run. MAJESTIC REWARD (8) is lightly raced, a maiden winner on debut before a sound effort at Bendigo over 1100m. Can roll forward and take catching. TRUSTFALL (4) resumes. He's won fresh in the past and does have bits of form that are competitive here, off the back off a jump out win. Watch the betting. BARNAGE (2) is racing consistently this time in and has each way claims. CHAMPAGNE DOCTOR (10) is flying although this is harder. SUGGESTED PLAY: Toronado Boom on top.
