GOING: G(4)

Peter Walsh Member for Murray BM52 Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.20)  

Genuine pace expected with Auckland and Addictive Street showing out early along with Tough Impact looking to cross. KANIVA (5) is a veteran mare who has been plagued by wide barriers lately. Tried to cross and lead in a similar race last time and the effort told, getting swamped late. Finally draws a gate and gets a chance to find winning form. TOOJAY (11) is better than the last run a week ago but hasn't been far away. Nicely weighted in this with the big weight drop after the claim and expected to run well. FLYING STRAZ (4) is also on the quick back-up after finishing midfield at Coleraine a week ago. Will spot a start but hit the line hard. SWING CITY (9) also backs up quickly when finishing four lengths away over 1000m at Jerilderie when fifth. Suitably placed so can turn things around. TOMANADO (1) raced on speed but faded late last time in a tougher assignment. Drawn wide but expected to give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kaniva from the good draw.
