GOING: H

Budget Car & Truck Hire BM64 Handicap 1500m

Track: Heavy 8   Clear (Max: 11)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid pace with Altruist showing out while Lord Domino will also work across from an outside gate. Wide open. AKITU (7) spiked his figures, winning this grade at Casterton on a heavy track. He's likely to get conditions to suit, and on that effort is capable of going back-to-back at healthy odds. ALTRUIST (4) won here and then came back and just missed in stronger grade. The local always puts in and is a decent chance to bounce. FAUCI (9) has been knocking on the door and with the blinkers applied for the first time may find the extra required . He will get every chance from a handy gate. CAPITAL ASSET (3) is in the top stable and has missed a whisker his last two. Has the 2kg claim for a promising apprentice and will have plenty of supporters. SUGGESTED PLAY: Having something on Akitu each-way.
