GOING: S

Halls Plumbing BM56 Handicap 1628m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.65)  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Teddy Boy leading the way. HEY BELLA (12) was back to her best beaten 2L at Wangaratta stepping up to this trip. She's been kept on the fresh side and has the blinkers applied for the first time. Maps well and this is winnable. VEGAS ON FIRE (11) is busting to win and his placing here two back this track/trip was the best of her recent form. She will push forward and can threaten on the 7-day return. LUMPYS HIGHWAY (8) made good improvement when placing at Tatura and can go on with it. Maps well today and is a chance. BATTAGLIA (1) has been racing in stronger and the 2kg claimer will use the inside barrier. He's placed this trip and he's good enough. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Hey Bella.
