GOING: S(5)

STRATA COMPLIANCE SOLUTIONS BM62 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. MERCHANT FLYER (1) absolutely smashed them over this track and trip at the latest effort and will have taken a bunch of confidence from that dominant victory. Orman stays on board and looks the one they all have to run down. HE'S FOR THE GIRLS (2) will strip fitter third-up from the spell and is one from one over this mile journey. Gets 3kg off with the claim and can make his presence felt. LEGER CHASE (6) is one from one around this circuit and will find this easier than her last-start run in town. Can bounce back. FEARLESS THINKING (5) looked good winning on the Gold Coast first-up before maybe suffering from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out. Worth another chance. HOLY FLASH (3) disappointed last start but go on the two solid wins prior. One for the multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Merchant Flyer to win again.
