GOING: G

Henry Byron Moore Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD3   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Keen tempo headed by Roadcone. KNOBELAS (12) looks well placed to bounce back to winning ways here. She's a progressive mare who dashed very well to win first up, just failing to reel in a well-ridden leader at Caulfield Heath last time out. The market has a huge opinion of her and she's clearly the one to beat down on 54kg. SNEAKY SUNRISE (7) is racing very well. She was too strong at Ballarat before a sound effort as favourite last time, 1800m perhaps seeing her out there. Back to a mile suits. ROADCONE (3) beat Knobelas last time out. He performs best when fit and able to roll along in front. Imagine similar tactics here but it'll be a long Flemington straight. HIYAAM PROUD (8) is knocking on the door but this is a tough race and place money might be best again. WELCOMETOTHESHOW (10) narrowly beat Hiyaam Proud last time and is in the mix once more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Knobelas to win.
