GOING: S

Finns Fine Foods 0 - 58 Highweight Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 10)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.53).  

Solid tempo anticipated with Brechen leading the way. WHAT A FLIRT (8) returned further improved with a narrow defeat at Swan Hill. It was a big effort from the wide barrier and she can race handy today from an inside draw. The step up in trip suits and she rates the one to beat. BUNJIL (4) resumed well-supported in the same race but looked in need of it. He's trialled since and the extra metres suit. A much better effort is anticipated. SHAKE'N'BAKE (6) has placed as favourite his last two. Uses the rail and can make the finish. BRECHEN (3) comes back to the turf and has more to give. Has the blinkers on again and and is also a hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing What A Flirt.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming didn't do much in the run home; second last of 11 at Echuca 0 - 58 on May 18 over 1209m, 11 len behind Elvis with 60kg at $3.50. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Ballarat Synthetic Bm58 on June 14 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Lady Dumont carrying 60kg at $8. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1400m.
