GOING: S(5)

HUM ENERGY Class 4 Handicap 1800m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: +6m 1000m-W/Post; +3m Remainder. (Pent: 4.86)  

Genuine tempo from Yalla leading Kovanos. WANDA'S OUTLAW (4) is fit and has been knocking on the door this distance range. Rolls up on a 7-day return and tumbles in weight this grade. That brings her right into it. YALLA (6) brings decent country form and she runs along. Has stacks of weight relief and will get every chance to run out the longer distance. BACKLIT BEAUTY (5) spiked her figures winning a 65 here comfortably over 2000m. Has had three weeks away and will be in the finish holding the form. KOVANOS (8) is in a top metro stable and can show more third up. Her best would have her in the finish. MENAZZI (1) has been racing in town in stronger. He can go better here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Wanda's Outlaw.
