GOING: H(8)

The Big Screen Company Handicap 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Brullen, Bold Response and Battaglia to match motors but there will be other pressure. LA FRACAS (4) resumes. He was a solid winner first up last time in at Kilmore before mixing it with some decent company over a bit further. Can sprint well fresh but does draw to get a long way back. KIRA (13) resumes. She was in good form last time in, winning her maiden at Kyneton when fresh. She's a handy sort who can be right there. BOLD RESPONSE (6) doesn't win out of turn but is going well and an each way chance again. SECOND FIX (9) broke through for a narrow win last time and could measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing La Fracas.
