GOING: S(5)

ARC THANKS ITS RACEDAY STAFF THIS SEASON HANDICAP 1500m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 4m Entire.  

No noted leader but Vonsnip, Divine Mercy and Deel Red will be prominent. DEEL RED (7) is third-up and brings strong form from Kalgoorlie. Looks the map horse and a top metro hoop replaces the apprentice. Gets his chance. DIVINE MERCY (4) has been narrowly beaten all four starts this preparation. He will use the low barrier and should go close. VONSNIP (2) mixes trips and had the rail when leading and belting the 58 graders here by 2.5L before drawing wide in a CL5 and disappointing as favourite. Has won 2/2 this course/distance and the rails gate advantages today. She can bounce back. STARAUTHORESS (9) is knocking on the door and is also a hope in a good contest. Gives away starts so makes it hard on himself. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Deel Red.
