GOING: G(4)

Sale Turf Club Foundation BM62 Handicap 1013m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.51)  

Expecting a strong gallop with Italian Informant and Doctor Coto taking up the running over Killiana. KILLIANA (2) looks very well placed here first up. She showed very good ability last time in, winning dominantly on debut and measuring up well to some good company in three subsequent runs. The win over Salty Pearl two back reads exceptionally for this and if she's forward enough she should be too good. BUVELOT (1) has won two on the bounce, too good in easier company at Bairnsdale latest. Have to respect again. INTRIGUING STATE (4) ran well fresh here, sitting on a solid pace and sticking on well enough for third. He should strip fitter and take catching. MAFEE (3) was okay first up at Bendigo and is in the mix with natural improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Killiana to win.
