GOING: G

Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.32)  

Strong tempo assured from Hrungnir and Immorality leading the charge. Lots of these are making up the numbers. MARINE PARADE (1) ran a much improved race second-up with a close-up fourth. Extra trip is a plus and fitter again. Should run well. THUNDER FORCE (3) is racing well including a last start fourth over 1968m at Yarra Valley. Nicely drawn and among the leading chances. SHOELESS (5) has been out of the placings in recent runs but best figures measure up to this grade. This is the easiest company he has faced in a while. SPIRIT ANGEL (12) is racing well with placings at last three runs, the latest runner-up over 1700m when beaten a lip. Go well again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Marine Parade.
