GOING: G(4)

Next Meeting Friday 19 September BM55 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +4m 1000m-W/Post; +2m Remainder. (Pent: 5.66)  

Plenty of speed engaged with Pelsaert, Mr Polar and Fallguy going forward ahead of Jungle Juice and White Arendelle. Former Victorian INDEFINITE (1) just found one better in his first run for the new stable, gets 2kg off with the claim and draws favourably in gate two. Will be better for that first-up hit-out and there's plenty to like about his prospects. FALLGUY (6) has a handy record here on his home track with two wins and two placings from six spins. Definite top-three contender with the claim. MR POLAR (9) strips fitter third-up from the spell and gets Wiggins on top again. In the mix from the low draw. TARGETED (2) draws the inside marble and has been right in the firing line of late. Has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 1,6,9.
