GOING: S(5)

Pooles Accountants & Tax Specialists BM62 Handicap 2400m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 3m 900m - 500m, True Remainder.  

Moderate tempo headed by Circa. Even race but FONN POWER (4) looks close to a win. Raced over 2200m at Donald last time and kept coming, beaten just a nose. Looks suited by the 2400m and drops in weight. Looks hard to hold out. COMPRESSING (2) went back from an outside gate last time and circled back and wide before running on hard to fifth over 2000m at Wangaratta a month ago. First try this longer journey but lightly raced and looks suited. Hard to hold out. VERIFIER (7) was good this grade two back then raced off his best last time when fifth in the same race as Fonn Power. Will be tough to hold out on best. DANDRUFF (5) finished 2.3 lengths back from the winner last start at Mildura on soft going and is down in weight this time. Ready to win after two solid runs back. HIGHLAND GLORY (6) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by a long neck over 2200m at Hamilton. Going well and could follow up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Fonn Power.
