GOING: S

Cri-tech Plumbing BM58 Handicap 1700m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 3.5m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25)  

Zibulon to take charge ahead of Mark Of The Man at a solid tempo. FLYING CELICA (8) is in good hands and is knocking on the door. Maps well back in grade, and John Allen is is key jockey switch. MARK OF THE MAN (1) resumed here in a 64 in solid order and didn't enjoy much luck late. Presents fitter and Linda replaces the 3kg apprentice. He will handle the trip and get every chance from an inside gate. TURN IT UP TOMMY (2) delivered this grade at Terang over 1850, and it was a good effort. Gets Newitt today and can't be ruled out. HAND ME DOWN (4) is a likely improver in a sharp stable and has the first-time blinkers applied. Better suited today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Flying Celica.
