GOING: H(8)

PRETTY VIEW RETREAT COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1210m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m-380m Cutaway Applies.  

Genuine tempo with Fourcade to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. DUPLI KATE (10) opened this prep with a maiden win at Albury then took on a similar race to this here a fortnight ago and caught the eye late, getting up for fourth. Very fit and in a race where there should be a decent tempo she will be hard to hold out. ACHESON (2) returns from an 18-week spell. Raced well through the maiden prep including a close second on debut here over this distance. Only needs a bit of luck from a tricky gate to be there at the finish. MUST (7) was 33 days between runs when close up here at this distance recently. Strips fitter and gets all the favours from the inside alley. Major player. New Joseph/Jones acquisition AVONVIEW (1) is first-up after a seven-month absence. Wasn't beaten far at Canterbury at his latest run so he has the quality to test this field. MOONRIDER (13) dropped out when resuming here at this trip last start but he can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dupli Kate each-way.
