GOING: G(4)

Rhino the Wrecker Handicap 2025m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.21)  

Moderate tempo with Thinking Gold leading the way. Keen on THE WESTERN FRONT (6) getting over a trip third up. Two runs back have been good, close up at Flemington fresh then strong to the line again at Pakenham when unsuited by the lack of tempo and staying at 1600m. He gets to 2025m now in what looks a winnable race and while drawn to get right back again he can round these up. ALL SO CLEAR (2) doesn't win out of turn but is building nicely this time in, on their heels at Kyneton last time out. He should get a nice run just behind the pace and go well. WARCHIME (7) won well two back at Seymour, close up again here last time out. He'll roll forward and give a sight. POWERFUL TORQUE (8) beat Warchime last time out, he'll just need a touch of luck slotting in early to be going close once more. SING FOR PEACE (1) will want further and hurdles but ran quite well fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Western Front to win.
