GOING: H

ConnectTel Handicap 1300m

Track: HVY10   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Hot Chilli Mama. WALK OF FAME (1) continues to race consistently, beaten just a head in this grade here over 1400m last time out. Shinn sticks with her to offset the wide gate and she only needs to hold her form to go close. ROSE OF ENGLAND (7) was a dominant 5.5-length winner at Pakenham fresh on wet ground, which contributed to the big margin win. That said, she's clearly come back well and can go on with things. CAPRICORN STAR (2) is a consistent type who has been good in two runs back and can improve again back in grade here. HOT CHILLI MAMA (16) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Walk Of Fame on top.
