GOING: G(3)

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 3     Rail: +0.5m 600m-400m; True Remainder .  

They should run this along with Bugden and Shot Down By Love taking it up over Native Bee. STANDLEE (4) is a talented type yet to taste defeat after two runs this campaign, the latest over 1350m at Ipswich. Can't knock current form and he will run well again. SEACRYPTION (12) doesn't win out of turn but won't have to improve much to be fighting out the finish this time. Draws to get the gun run and keeps the claimer. Gets her chance to break a long run of outs. SHOT DOWN BY LOVE (10) was a big improver here second-up when arriving just in time to score. Fitter again and the mile should suit. Can make it two on the bounce. GOT YOURSELF A GUN (1) hasn't looked likely in his two runs back after settling a long way of them. Strips fitter third-up and should find this easier. Watch for him if he's close enough when straightening. SUGGESTED PLAY: Standlee to win.
