GOING: G(4)

GEORGE CARROLL KITCHENS & JOINERY CLASS 1 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Tutto Finito, Trigoso and Mctominay to match motors but there will be other pressure. BRUTAL BELLE (11) has let punters down in her past two but has been far from disgraced, and the form around her is red hot. The 1200m looks her sweet spot and she can repay the faith. KENDALIA (1) resumes and should get the strong early tempo she needs for Berry to have her rounding them up late. TB loves it that way. TUTTO FINITO (10) didn’t give her rivals a sniff at Wodonga when leading throughout. She’s open to further improvement but is likely to have far more company on speed this time. FORTE CHEVAL (6) resumes for the Scott yard and has been tuned up with a strong hitout on the Riverside track. Draws well for McDougall and is expected to make his presence felt. His stablemate JUST HEAR ME OUT (7) was less effective last start but his prior form stacks up. Like him dropping back to 1200m off a 42 day freshen, and a tick-over 800m trial at home keeps him right on the mark. Don't dismiss easily. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brutal Belle to win.
