GOING: H

Hope Racing 0-62 Handicap 1400m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 5.5m Entire Circuit.  

Moderate pace from Vianarra taking it up with Hot Chilli Mama and Wild Annie on his back. VIANARRA (6) has been around the mark in stronger races and rates well for this contest. He can sit closer today from an inside barrier and John Allen is a key jockey engagement. FIRE TRIBE (8) did a good job from back in the field at Geelong and there was plenty of merit in the Bendigo effort prior. Brown sticking is a decent push for his chances. BELCONY (10) has been racing in stronger races in town and finds herself right back in grade today. Untested on the heavy going, but her best form stacks up and she can put her best foot forward. CAMP CABLE (2) looks to be working through the grades nicely with a track and trip win here last time out. Has shown he handles the going and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vianarra appeals most.
