GOING: S(7)

Jarrod Arentz Electrical & Solar Solutions BM70 Handicap 975m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 9)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Whistlefield to take charge ahead of Fly On Bye at a good tempo. WHISTLEFIELD (3) has been kept fresh since a solid first up run at Warrnambool, trying hard behind the stablemate Call To Glory. She's sparingly raced but has a pretty strong overall record and boasts form that should just about win this. GREATHAM BOY (1) is a former Singaporean horse who resumed at Bendigo with a tidy win over 1000m, showing speed and proving far too quick. Should only improve off that and will take catching again. THINKING OF GERTY (10) is a consistent sort who has only missed a place twice in her career. She ran really well up in grade at Sandown Hillside behind the smart Stokke when last seen and a repeat of that goes close here. ESSEFFNINETY (11) has won a jumpout for her return and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Whistlefield on top.
