GOING: S

Western Victorian Wholesalers BM58 Handicap 1600m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.71)  

Plenty of speed from Hrungnir and Laststrikeyourout. BARBIE'SDREAMWORLD (8) was outgraded at Group level in Adelaide, but missed 1L at Sandown-Hillside prior, before finding one better at Warrnambool as favourite, last time. She's back plenty in grade and goes wet and dry. Well-placed to go one better. CLEITUS (1) brought strong form to resumption, narrowly beaten at Terang. He was in the market against the above at Warrnambool following, and was slow to recover. Has Yendall aboard today, and he can get back on track. DUSTLAND FAIRYTALE (9) has needed the two runs this preparation in stronger. She is proven third up and has more in the tank. Has the inside barrier, and Kersley is a positive jockey switch. IDON'TGETIT (2) resumed in stronger and needed the outing. The step up to the mile suits, and he has a decent record second-up. He has a small claim and needs to be kept onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Barbie'sdreamworld.
