GOING: G(4)

Sunshine Trust 0 - 56 Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo with Barn Zee to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. ALTROVE (10) lines up on the back of a 0.8 lengths fourth over 1200m at Corowa on Monday. Not beaten far the start prior at Kilmore either, so looks to be tracking the right way and looks really well in after the 4kg claim. SLY CASCATA (5) also gets a bit of weight relief, thanks to Cassidy Hill's 3kg claim, and he needs to be respected on consistency alone, let alone the fact he's drawn ideally. SWING YOUR MAGIC (2) gets here second-up after a 3.5-length fifth in a stronger race as Seymour, so with that run under the belt and a nice draw he looks like playing a role. FLEET DESTINATION (14) doesn't have the luxury of a good draw, but is racing consistently and can be expected to acquit himself well even though he is up in grade. OVERTOUX (12) led from a wide gate last time over 1300m at Wangaratta but felt the pinch and faded out of it. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Winning claims on best figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Altrove to win.

The start before that 5th of 14 at Kilmore 0 - 56 on April 18 over 1100m, 3 len behind Please Me Do with 55kg at $16. An inside stall is a big advantage. Expected to go very well.

Recent form sound. Most recently made ground from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Wangaratta Bm52 on May 3 over 1300m, on rain affected going; 1.75 len behind Iliad carrying 52.5kg at $9. Before that won by a head at Deniliquin Cl2 April 25 over 1400m defeating Brassi Road with 52kg at $16. This tougher and poorly drawn but has at least been fighting out the finish of late.
