GOING: H(8)

FORDE AUTO SERVICES / SPEIGHTS FAIRFAX HANDICAP 1200m

Track: HEAVY     True  

Strong tempo primarily from Cockahoop, Ali Nel and Times Up over Intercept and Claudius Maximuss. EXPRESS COUP (6) was a close second at her last start. Won her only course start. Drawn to win this without any doubt whatsoever. HELLDANCER (10) has gone two good runs so far this time in. Eachway no matter the footing on offer today importantly. BELARDO ACE (3) is a class dropper for his last two starts. Won his Maiden prior on dry ground. Chance here for sure. COCKAHOOP (1) has run well in two of last four starts. Drawn out but he can definitely cope in this line up. Trifecta and first four chance. CLAUDIUS MAXIMUSS (2) he is racing well in his last four runs. Wet tracker. Seven runs here and yet to pay a dividend would be the main query. SUGGESTED PLAY: Express Coup and Helldancer are win wagers.
