Sportsbet Samson Handicap 1200m Track: GOOD 4 Clouds (Max: 18) Rail: True Entire Circuit. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Noble Style. HERE THE CROWD (15) won well in a Class 1 at Pakenham last time out and maps for a good run just behind the pace. Can go on with it. WALLENDA (1) will find this easier than recent runs. His best form is in stronger company than this and he gets in well enough after the claim. HE'LL RIP (9) resumes and will get over further but has ability and can hit the line strongly. BEOUR BAY (18) was runner-up at Randwick-Kensington last start and that sort of form should have her in the money again. Each way value. GRONKOWSKI (3) has been freshened up since a last start tough win at Warnambool. A 2kg claim will help and he is worth including in all multiples in a competitive contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Here The Crowd each way.
