GOING: G

Freeway Ford 0-64 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25).  

Frank Express has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. DELIVERING (4) looks the one to beat. He finally broke his maiden two back at Sandown Lakeside, beating a handy 3yo in the process, before another good effort, again in town when second. Should go close here. NEW YORK SCANDAL (11) can mix her form but was good last time at Pakenham Synthetic over 1600m in a BM58, beaten a nose. She should get a nice run here and rates a solid each-way hope. POLANCO (2) doesn't win many but has been good at his past two, second in a BM64 at Sandown Hillside last time out which reads well. He should get a good run and be thereabouts. PLATINUM DESTROYER (6) can run well fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Delivering to win.
