GOING: G(4)

Maffco Brewery and Distillery BM64 Handicap 1008m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.34)  

Hot tempo expected from Doctor Coto and Elly Dee. Tough sprint contest. THE CRUISER (5) is honest if nothing else and is backing up after finishing a close-up third here nine days ago. Was a winner at the start prior and expected to go close. KYLE (1) definitely has the ability but has been a long time since scoring. At peak after four runs in and has been racing in rougher company. Fourth here this class last time and with Allen and a low draw should feature. DUCHESS OF ARGYLL (4) is a promising type who was too good on debut to claim her maiden then put away again. Fitted with three hit-outs for this and with plenty of upside wouldn't shock with a big return. THE VICTRESS (6) was safely held fresh in tougher then well off best last time so given a let-up. Fitter for two hit-outs since though and returns with blinkers. Can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Cruiser looks well placed.
