GOING: G

Prendergast Earthmoving Handicap 1454m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 1m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.1).  

Solid tempo expected primarily from Princeofnottingham and Albanian Bay. LADY SHALAA (6) can mix her form. Run was good two back at Cranbourne before disappointing at Terang last time. Looks much better off this time and improvement is on the cards. MAKALU (7) has featured in the placings in past couple at Geelong. Deserving of another win and gets his chance here. SNAPPY PIERRO (8) has just the two wins from 16 starts but both have come here, her home track. Did the job well last time and there's no reason why she can't win again. ALBANIAN BAY (12) has been around the money in his past two outings and from the good draw can make his presence felt here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Lady Shalaa to win and Makalu to win.
