GOING: G(4)

Budget Car & Truck Hire BM66 Handicap 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Sister Shay. ENTRUSTING (2) did enough first up at 1400m here, getting back and picking off a few late behind an unbeaten winner. Looked in need of more ground there having won over 1800m last time in and while this is still on the sharper side, he'll be fitter and can get over the top late. NEW KINGDOM (9) is a lightly raced type who ran well fresh at Geelong off a long spell, beaten 3.5 lengths. He's bred to stay and the stable should have him fit rising in trip now. MISS TRUSTFUL (14) broke through for a deserved win at Ballarat last time out, getting a good run and making the most of it. She can get into a good spot again here and measure up. COMPRESSING (4) resumes. He got out to the 2500m of a G1 SA Derby last time but showed good ability earlier and has to be considered. FIRE TRIBE (15) is going well and has each way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Entrusting on top.
