GOING: S(7)

Barmah Park Restaurant and Cellar Door Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT7   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo likely from Calypso King and Savamoon. IMPONDERABLE (14) gave a sight second-up and was just nabbed late when runner-up over a mile at Seymour. Fitter for two runs back and worth noting last time third up, also at the mile, found winning form. Looks ready to win and appeals as a leading prospect. THE DEVIL IN HER (7) had a year off before returning with an eye-catching fourth last time, beaten just a long neck in a four way drive to the line at Caulfield Heath. Yet to fire second-up but will go close this line-up if repeats that fresh rating. Can only be fitter and will be hard to hold out here. PRINCING (8) was fourth fresh then improved to finish runner-up latest. Is a third-up winner and should be in the finish again. CALYPSO KING (11) is ready to win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Imponderable gets chance.
