GOING: S

Frankston Sand Soil & Mini Mix BM64 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43).  

Moderate tempo. MERE FANCY (10) was just fair in a bunched finish last time at Sandown Lakeside but good in two runs prior and back a notch or two here suits. RED MILE (9) was a touch disappointing first up at Sale when hard in the market but can improve sharply. KHOR (3) can measure up off a last-start win. Gets every chance to continue the good run of form. TOLERANCE (11) resumed over 1600m at Pakenham last start and finished third. Fitter and an each-way hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mere Fancy on top.
