GOING: G(4)

HENTSCHEL PEST MANAGEMENT Class 3 Handicap 1350m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True. (Pent: 5.68)  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Ambassadors. Former NSW galloper AMBASSADORS (1) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this assignment much easier than what he was contesting down south. The stable has a good record with tried runners and is a definite winning chance in this contest. HUSSY EMPRESS (12) saves her best form for this distance range with three wins and three placings from ten attempts and has had a little freshen up since the last outing. In the mix. ARTZINO (2) is first-up here and should be hitting the line with gusto. The well-related MAPLE DOOR (22) (half to G2 winner Oak Door) needs some luck from the wide draw but can run a cheeky little race. PER CAPITA (7) gets 3kg off with the claim and rates among the better hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ambassadors to salute.
