GOING: G(4)

Prendergast Earthmoving BM56 Handicap 1206m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 2m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.16)  

Expecting Snappy Tycoon to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. DRONE ATTACK (2) will find this much more to her liking than recent starts. Hit the line well after being too far back last start, not beaten far by a subsequent city winner the start prior and the two starts before that were in town. Last time she was in 56 grade she was a winner here five back. DIAMOND INDARUF (3) has been racing relatively consistently and has contested some recent races with more depth than this. Good last start at Moe and has the ability to put herself on-speed, which can be an advantage around here. STAR TERRITORY (7) fought on for second last start over 1209m at Yarra Valley, making it two minor placings in a row. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BRAZEN FLING (9) was given a short break after winning over 1200m at Yarra Valley and was kept up to the mark with a recent jumpout. SNAPPY TYCOON (5) is a local who regularly runs top-three here and will find this easier than last Sunday's race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Drone Attack to win.
