GOING: S(6)

GMCU BM58 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit.  

A lack of early speed leaves it open for Grinzinger Love to run them along. GRINZINGER LOVE (3) won first up and then improved again, beaten a whisker at Werribee. Peaks now and rates to bounce back. SWANNY DEE (2) resumed in better at Warrnambool, and it was a good effort from the wide barrier. He's been freshened and jumped out well at Geelong. Can get a softer run today, and the claim brings him into it. RHODESIAN RED (6) just missed at Wodonga first up as favourite and expect that to stack up. Came off two jump-out wins at Flemington and has more to offer. GUNDAROO (1) resumed in stronger company in good order and has won a jump out since. Has a 4kg claim and has to be considered. KING DE LUNE (4) maps well and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Grinzinger Love.
