GOING: G(4)

TOYOTA FORKLIFTS HANDICAP 1550m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.03)  

Expecting a strong tempo with Forbidden Riff, Audrey's Lane and Lennox going forward ahead of The Creator and Tenderize. AUDREY'S LANE (3) blinkers come off for this and gets the services of a 3kg apprentice today. Away only fairly and never got into the contest with a disappointing tenth over 1400m at Randwick in Midway class. Finds an easier contest and expected to race closer here. Each way. THE CREATOR (1) tough gelding who indicated a win was imminent with a game on-pace second over 1600m at Warwick Farm. Gets the benefit of Roper's claim again and can overcome the tricky draw. TENDERIZE (5) deep into the campaign and has good credentials over this course and distance. Can get cover from the sticky gate and stays in the mix. LENNOX (4) has trialled well ahead of the return so keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Audrey's Lane each way.
