GOING: G

Stow Storage Solutions Handicap 2400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Inthelapofthegods to bowl along in front and control the race. UPWOODS (12) continues to race well and another win could be on the cards. He's usually in the market and runs well without winning but taking a line behind Samuel Longhorne two back when beaten a nose, he looks well placed in this field. PRISMATIC (1) has been 6th and 4th to Samuel at his past two starts but does drop in grade for this and maps for a good run. ROARING ENGINE (2) dropped out at Bendigo last time having run very well in the G2 Adelaide Cup prior. A return to that sort of form will go close here. NISHINO CRESCENT (4) also struggled at Bendigo but had been coming along well prior. Give another chance. VERIFIER (6) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Upwoods on top.
