GOING: G

Mitavite Athlete Plus BM64 Handicap 2060m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.19)  

Oh No George and Palace Winter to bowl along in front. THINK I'M FAMOUS (10) is racing consistently, third in a similar race here last time out. Finds a winnable race here and if the tempo is on up front she should be hard to hold out. SLANE (2) hasn't won in a while but wasn't beaten far at Bendigo over 1600m last time out. Should appreciate the rise in trip now and maps well. SAVEADATEFORME (6) is coming off a narrow win in easier grade at Moe. This isn't much harder and he should be thereabouts again. ALLIBOR (3) struggles to win but has each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Think I'm Famous on top.
