GOING: H

Pearsons Nursery BM56 Handicap 1000m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.83)  

Strong tempo assured from Brash Lass and The Mariner leading the charge. SUB GAUGE (6) resumed from a very long spell with a close-up second over a little further at Kilmore. Fitter for it and senior rider goes on here. Worth following up. BRASH LASS (7) was off the mark two back at Seymour then a close-up fourth last time here beaten less than a length. Continues to race well and should be in the finish again. EXCITING TIMES (9) is a lightly raced mare who is nearing a win. Has placed both tries this course and distance - her last two starts - and will be tough to hold out late again. A GOOD YARN (1) has put in two moderate runs since winning three back at Hamilton. Veteran galloper with a good record here on home track. Has speed and a low draw and will give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Sub Gauge.
