GOING: G(4)

SHIRE OF MURRAY HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Our Nemesis should find the front with Classic Rogue and Flying Frankie on his heels. OUR NEMESIS (1) improved again beaten a nose here this trip when seeking the hat-trick off wins at Albany. Fully fit now and Faithfull stays aboard. He rates to bounce back. CLASSIC ROGUE (2) is a well-performed veteran holding a strong level of form. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and his narrow defeat at Ascot two back over 1800m reads extra well. HESKET (4) shouldn't be underestimated. Raced twice in town and then went close this trip at York, running a good number. Tumbles in weight and that brings him into it. FLYING FRANKIE (6) was close up three times at Ascot over 1000m before being outgraded there in Stakes grade over 1400m. Tackles the mile for the first time and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Nemesis appeals again.
