GOING: G(4)

Henley Homes Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 12m Entire Circuit.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Beast Mode leading the way. KIN (5) resumes. She only had one run last preparation but won a good BM84 over this route, running on well to score by half a length. Her winning record doesn't quite reflect her talent and if she gets a good ride from the apprentice, she'll be hard to beat. BEAST MODE (2) is racing well, dropping back to 955m last time when just finding one better. He can get a better run on speed over this trip and will take catching. NADAL (6) resumed from a long spell at Flemington and was solid behind Moby Dick. He can be fitter and should take beating. IS IT ME (4) is consistent and should be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Kin.
