GOING: S(7)

Brian Beattie Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 11m Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo likely from Gin A Tonic and Winnasedge. Cracking little sprint for a quality handicap. Off last start, they'll struggle to beat LOSESOMEWINMORE (4) who went like a rocket here over 1200m, bursting down the outside to win by two lengths in fast time. 1100m on softer ground is no issue and while he was $15 there, he gets a very similar scenario drawn out wide. BUSTLING (8) has been rock solid in two runs back from a very long spell. He tried hard on tough ground in the Bel Esprit and should be ready to peak to 1200m on slightly firmer footing. DE BERGERAC (6) chased Losesomewinmore in vain last start but stuck on well and was much shorter than that horse on the day. He should be right there. NEW YORK LUSTRE (2) has been very good in two Group races in Adelaide including the G1 Goodwood last time when fourth, albeit that was a very thin edition. She's is 2/2 down the straight and will take catching. WINNASEDGE (13) plummets in weight off a solid return, up in trip suits and he can challenge. SUGGESTED PLAY: Losesomewinmore to win.
