GOING: G(4)

Symal Handicap 2040m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Deel Blaster, Fiorenot and Bogues will be keen early so the tempo should be genuine. HAALAND (7) can run well at each way odds. He's been solid in two runs back from a spell, not far way at Geelong second up over 1700m when midfield. Now third up, he gets to 2040m and looks very well placed in a BM64. MIDNIGHT GLOW (3) finished ahead of Haaland at Geelong so must have claims. He'll have no issue with the rise in trip but does find it tough to win. TEWKESBURY (6) notched up his second career win last start to break a run of second placings when successful at Mildura. Only a BM58 there but his profile is a solid one. FIORENOT (4) is progressive off two consecutive wins and can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Haaland each-way.
