GOING: G

VALE HARRY MOODY "101 YEARS STRONG" HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo from Monty Zoomer leading Divine Judgement. DAIYAMONDO (5) has found it hard to win another race but looks to be closing in on her next victory after running on strongly to finish second at Geraldton nearly 2 weeks ago. She will be hoping to slot in somewhere near the pace early on, and in this even lineup, she can go one better. MONTY ZOOMER (7) needed his first run back from a spell at Geraldton and will improve quickly with that run under his belt. His only win has been on this circuit, and if he doesn't need another hit-out, then he can run into the money this time. ARCHER COUNTY (1) has been building his fitness steadily this year and should be spot-on for this fourth up. A 3kg claim makes him well placed to put his best hoof forward here. DIVINE JUDGEMENT (2) is resuming from a spell for a new trainer and will benefit from a 4kg claim. He has the talent, and maybe a change of scenery is just what he needs. Include in all multiples. WHO'S YOUR MAMA (3) will be peaking third up from a spell, and she won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Archer County each-way.
