GOING: S(7)

TAB HANDICAP 1800m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +11m 1000m-W/Post, + 8m Remainder . (Pent: 5.45)  

Hasty Honey has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SHE'S UNUSUAL (5) gets a more economical run for this after leading throughout from the wide gate when a tough on pace winner over this track and trip at latest. Osmond's claim keeps her in the picture in a fairly even contest. HASTY HONEY (3) gone to a new level this campaign and will have little problem running the 1800m out in this tougher field. Stanley's claim keeps her in the calculations and will give a ton of cheek. CHANGING COLOURS (7) held up slightly in the straight when a disappointing sixth over the 1400m here. Looking for the extra ground now and no shock to see her bounce back quickly. NANA'S WISH (2) racing well and can sneak into the minor money from the good gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's Unusual maps to win again.
