PRIMO BACON BONANZA RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +12m Entire. (Pent: 6.88)  

Herecomesantorini has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. SCRIPT WRITER (1) has a handy record over this track and trip with a win and five placings from ten attempts. Has placed three from six when first-up and can run a big race while fresh. RESOLUTE LADY (6) strips fitter second-up from the break and may play role with any luck in running. DASHING HOPE (7) has hit the frame at the past three efforts and looks to be building up to another victory. Expect a bold display. EXCEEDAQA (9) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running seventh at this track. Will look for a better run this time out as an each way chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,6,7,9.
