GOING: G(4)

WB Hunters BM62 Handicap 1422m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 40)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Tassron has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. HOUDINI (3) can run well at each-way odds here. He resumes here for the Bedggood yard who have had a bit of time with him now. They got him to win very well off a let-up on his stable debut at Pakenham last time in before tackling some handy races. Now with a proper spell under the belt and in a winnable race, he should run a good race. HEALING FREQUENCY (11) was a dominant winner on debut at Pakenham, striking deteriorating conditions there last time when in the market in a stronger race. Forgive that, if she's come through that fine she can bounce back strongly. NAITANUI (8) is lightly raced having won well fresh, okay in a Class 1 last time. He should get a nice run midfield and can figure in the finish. TAKA SPEED (4) resumes having shown good ability in his debut campaign. He'll likely get further but has claims. QUEEN OF THE SURF (13) is better placed here and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Houdini each-way.
