GOING: G(4)

Charlie Hoile Handicap (Heat 1 of Adelaide In Autumn Series) 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: +9m 1000m-W/Post, +6m Remainder Sectional 612m. (Pent: 5.55)  

Super Lad and Texan Windstorm to take up the running at a strong tempo. CASH (4) couldn't find his best up north but got back on track in his home state last start when closing off nicely into the placings behind the smart Shadhavar. Looks well suited rising to the 1400m. Bold showing anticipated. HOT DIGITY BOOM (1) was a determined winner over this trip two back at Cranbourne in what has turned into a strong form race. Less effective over the mile at Flemington, so the return to 1400m in an easier assignment is ideal. 2kg claim helps. TAPINFORPAR (9) rattled home to just miss here two back in a red hot form race. Disappointed last start on soft ground when clearly below his best. Worth forgiving. SUPER LAD (2) was a brave winner fresh at headquarters when leading throughout. Pulled up lame last start when tailing out, so happy to overlook. Holder sticks third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cash to win. Each-way saver Tapinforpar.

The start before that ran on from midfield and won by a head at Cranbourne Bm74 February 13 over 1400m defeating Bons To Riches carrying 57.5kg at $4.40. Drops back to a winning trip and will be sharper with the blinkers on.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming won by 1.0 len at Morphettville 0-70 February 21 over 1200m defeating Star Sirius carrying 59kg at $8.50. Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 at Murray Bridge Bm82 on March 7 over 1400m, 9 len behind Star Sirius carrying 55.5kg at $7. Better than that last run suggests and deserves his chance.

The race before that got back early 10th of 15 at Gold Coast Cl6-Sw on January 17 over 1200m, 7 len behind Hawker Hall with 55.5kg at $21. An inside barrier is a big advantage. Got things back on track last time and is well placed to strike through.
