Sportsbet Photo Finish Refund Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 9m 1000m-W/Post. Out 6m Remainder, Sectional 612m. (Pent: 6.01).  

Freak Of Nature to take up the running at a solid early tempo. HE'S BESET (2) bounced back sharply to form last start when making a mess of rivals at Echuca. No tougher this time after some key scratchings and stays at a winning trip off a quick freshen. The one to beat. FREAK OF NATURE (6) also enjoyed a returned to the winner's circle at the latest when leading pillar-to-post at Sandown-Hillside. Gets weight off and will look to charge forward again. TAPINFORPAR (5) only warmed to his task late when finishing midfield at the latest. Strips fitter on the quick back up as he steps out to a preferred trip. Toeroek engaged another push. STRATUM PRIDE (11) only saw daylight late when missing by a neck here two weeks ago. In the mix with even luck. SUGGESTED PLAY: He's Beset to win.
