GOING: G

Seymour Toyota F&M Handicap 1300m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Plenty of pace from Eloped, Sirena and Khadime primarily. TOURNELLE (3) got the blinkers on last start and it proved the difference, looming up strongly and racing away to win impressively at Sandown Hillside last time out to break a long run of placings. The time was good there and she'll get every chance from barrier three with D Lane booked to ride. KHADIME (10) was poor first up as a $2.60 chance at Sale, dropping right out there. Take on trust, but her form last time in reads very well for a race like this and she could bounce back quickly. HAPPY LINK (8) continues to race well, placing in her past three trying hard behind a smart type last start. She'll run another honest race and be in the finish. SIRENA (7) resumes. She's finished in the quinella at 4/8 starts and put up some decent performances in 3yo company. She draws well and can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tournelle to win.
