Hygain Winners Choice BM58 Handicap 1400m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Even tempo and Sir Domigo may be the galloper to lead. MONT SAINT MICHEL (5) was nudged out at Benalla on resumption and then didn't get warm on a soft track at Pakenham in stronger. Raced well at Flemington in a 70 over this trip before the break and that reads well. Has a handy gate and should be ready to show his best. ALLIBOR (4) switched from Hong Kong and was disappointing at Bendigo first up well supported (vet cleared). He gets the blinkers applied again and is worth another chance. SIR DOMIGO (3) races forward and won a 58 by a space at Echuca and then had excuses here on the turf. Draws to advantage and peaks today. COSMIC RHAPSODY (1) gives away starts but was much better here last time and keeps the handy 3kg claim. He's on a 4-day return so must be pleasing the yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Mont Saint Michel.
