Harvey Norman Ararat Handicap 1606m Track: GOOD 4 Clouds (Max: 14) Rail: Out 3m 1300m - 350m. True Remainder. (Pent: 5.08). |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Strong early tempo with I'm Airborne leading the way over Furlanetto. I'M AIRBORNE (4) did it well when breaking his maiden on the Ballarat synthetic track last start after having excuses when racing a keenly first-up when fourth in a Geelong maiden. Is only lightly raced with upside and expect a bold showing here. FURLANETTO (10) broke her maiden stylishly over 1600m at Swan Hill last start and looks capable of taking another step here. MOON YANCO (8) was a solid last-start second at Kerang and has each-way claims. A BLUE STAR (2) had excuses last start when he pulled up lame but has blinkers on here and is capable of bouncing back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with I'm Airborne.
