GOING:

RACING240 FOR RACING. FOR YOU MR 82 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: STANDARD      

The speedy trio Tuscan Gold, Cool Winter and Usa's Hope can set the pace from the outset. COOL WINTER (2) ran below expectations last time at Fairview, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths starting at $8. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. USA'S HOPE (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when eighth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1200m at Greyville. Has further improvement to come and looks the main danger. EXECUTOR (4) resumes in a similar race to her last run ten weeks ago when she scored by a nose. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Has to be respected. ELLA'S DELIGHT (9) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths at Fairview over 1200m. Nicely placed to bounce back.
