GOING: H(8)

Mundarra BM56 Handicap 2000m

Track: Heavy 8   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.30)  

From the wide draw Cousins Day can cross and set up a solid tempo. Looks another nice race for the in-form EVERYTHINGISAUTUMN (11) who has won two of her past three, dominant last time out at Mildura when rising to 2000m in this grade. Query switching to heavy ground but she's clearly found her distance range and can win again. COUSINS DAY (9) was okay on heavy ground in much tougher company two back, good over this route in a BM62 last start when third. Comes back a notch in grade again and will take catching. SQUANDER (12) doesn't win out of turn but is going okay, good in fourth at Geelong last time out when beaten under two lengths. She maps for a good run and has claims. GHEMME (1) is coming off a win over this route in a highweight race but can measure up again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Everythingisautumn on top.
