GOING: H(10)

Border Medical Laser And Aesthetics 0 - 58 Handicap 1104m

Track:   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 3m 1800m - 300m, True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo with O'reg to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. BEFORE THE WAR (1) missed a nose at Echuca and then ran a tough race there following taking out his Maiden. Finally draws a half-decent gate and he rates to take the next step. MOMENTICE (9) led and won her Maiden here by 5L on the heavy turning the form around. Has a wide gate today but the 2kg claim is handy and with average luck can threaten. BRENLYN'S TROOPER (7) was tracking well before a plainer effort last time. Is likely to push forward and can get into the finish. SUPER SUNNY SEEYA (5) resumed here on the heavy but needed it. He's placed 2/3 second up and maps well with a 2kg claimer up. Keep safe with the blinkers on again. CONNEMARA QUEEN (8) resumes and is proven fresh. Her best would have her go close but it's been a long time between drinks. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Before The War.
