GOING: G(4)

Kiewa Valley Spring Water BM56 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.40)  

A solid tempo on the cards with Brullen heading them off. BRULLEN (1) was nudged out twice before delivering a win this grade at Mildura as a $2.9 favourite. He controlled the race and is likely to do so here. Looks well placed to go on with the job. ANCHOR DOWN (5) found a place at Geelong first-up and there was plenty of merit in the effort. He's further improved and can sit handier today. SHEER LUNACY (3) is busting to win and there was only a lip in it at Benalla last time. He risks getting bolted up from an inside barrier but keeps the 3kg claim and should go close regardless. RENOVATION SHOW (2) comes back to a sprint off a 61-day freshen. He's up to this at best and the 3kg claim brings him into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Brullen.
