GOING: G(4)

Insurance By Design Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.18)  

Solid tempo with Elite Party going forward from the good draw. GUNDAROO (3) didn't have the best of it at Pakenham but the form prior stacks right up. He is on a 7-day return and comes back in grade. He finds a winnable assignment. DIVINO CAVALLO (4) won comfortably in Adelaide on debut heavily bet. She's promising and maps for a soft run. Fitter and no surprise if she takes the next step. HIDDEN COMFORT (6) peaks off a near miss at Kilmore and it was a tough effort. Maps well today and is also a chance. SWIFT HIT (1) and IF I WAS YOU (5) are capable and the latter has the first-time blinkers applied. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Gundaroo each way.
