GOING: G(4)

Hewitt and Whitty Stawell BM70 Hcp 1100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.37)  

Moderate pace from Layeruponlayer taking it up with Ravalli and Rain Lord on his back. LAYERUPONLAYER (3) resumes from a short break of 12 weeks. He was a narrow winner first up at Flemington last time in which reads nicely for this. He's a handy sprinter who should have residual fitness from last campaign and take beating. RAVALLI (5) resumes, a former Singaporean horse. He boasts a very strong overall record and is usually hard in the market. Respect any betting move. RANTING (1) and MOOR MUMM (10) hold some value appeal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Layeruponlayer to win.
