GOING: H(8)

Workforce Extenions F&M BM64 Handicap 1100m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Strong tempo, primarily from Furosshi and Tapo. JENNYANYDOTS (2) on top. Her return at Sandown Hillside was very good in a stronger race, finding the line strongly off a slow speed to miss by a nose. The winner there is smart and this looks a fair bit easier. The query is where she gets to from the wide draw but on ability she should be too strong. SIOUX SPIRIT (3) could be the danger at odd. She flopped on the synthetic last time but had been racing well prior on turf and should land in a decent spot from the draw. Can bounce back. ICHIBERU (7) is racing in fine form, backing up a hot start to the campaign with two minor placings at her past couple. Should be thereabouts again. FUROSSHI (5) resumes. She typically goes well fresh and did race against some good company last time in. DAMEHOOD (6) is lightly raced off a solid return at Cranbourne. Tricky draw but will be strong late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jennyanydots to win.
