GOING: H(10)

HAYES FAMILY HANDICAP 1900m

Track: HVY10   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Chantel to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. BIT TIRED ACTUALLY (8) missed by 3L at this track and trip most recently and looks to be getting back to the form that saw her break her maiden back in March. Drawn well again today and can land in a handy position. Can get back to winning ways in this suitable event. I'LL KEEP HALF (10) steps out to 1900m for the first time and gets the Blinkers on for the first time today. Pike hops back on board the filly after narrowly missing two back at Rockingham when on board. Out in trip for the first time but is trending the right way and can feature in the finish again. RENOVATION SHOW (2) is better than he showed last time out when well beaten. His form prior at this track and trip was very good and rates highly in this field. May get back in the run but watch for him late. BELLA VIOLETTA (7) was better last start and can feature in the finish again. MAGIC MIKEY (1) flew home to win last start and has to be included out in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bit Tired Actually can bounce back.
