Mac Waste BM66 Handicap 2226m

Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.18)  

Mash And Gravy is the likely leader and should be able to get there comfortably. SUN GIFT (1) resumed with a 1.75 lengths defeat over a mile at Caulfield Heath. He brought strong metro staying form to that, and the step up to a middle distance suits. Carries a kilo less and Egan is a positive jockey engagement. Should have these well covered. PROVEN RECORD (5) resumed and won her Maiden by 5.5L at Pakenham over 1600m. Got too far back at Mornington following and was never in the hunt. Presents fitter and Newitt steers from an inside gate. She's likely to appreciate the longer journey and can get into the finish. CRYPTIC CLUE (6) got closer at Wangaratta over the mile. Has been giving away big starts, suggesting she'll be better suited over this distance. MASH AND GRAVY (10) tumbles in weight off a comfortable win at the picnics, and we know he will run it out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sun Gift to win.
