GOING: S

S & S O'Keefe Bricklaying Highweight Handicap 1700m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.73).  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Lottaroc leading the way. COLOMBE D'OR (2) gets the nod. She's coming through strong races in comparison to this, beaten just 3.5 lengths when fourth in a Bm70 at Pakenham two starts back, with the winner of that race since winning easily again since. Go close. CRUZ MISSILE (1) struggled at Sale last time but the run first up at Swan Hill has him right in the finish here. MAKEWHOLE (6) is coming off a solid maiden win here and can figure. KODIAK BEAR (3) resumes and has some upside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Colombe D'or to win.
