GOING: G(4)

Racing Again Fri 21st Nov OPEN Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: True Entire Course.  

Master Montaro, Your Too Good and Fodor to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. MASTER MONTARO (1) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by 2 lengths last start over 1200m at this track. Expected to take some stopping again. FLYING SHAMUS (8) built on a nice second two starts back here with success as public elect over 1050m at this circuit a week ago, getting home by a head. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is right in contention. FODOR (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1250m at Cairns after being prominent from the outset. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed and is hard to beat in this suitable race. DEALING'S DONE (11) scored a barnstorming win last start over 1100m at this course, coming from the tail to get up by a long neck. Is in solid form this time in work and looks one for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Master Montaro to win again.
