GOING: H(8)

Cloudcon Construction Software BM66 Handicap 2025m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.11)  

Madesian and Rainsun should roll forward and dictate. Siding with the upside of RAINSUN (4) who went on with an encouraging debut at Wodonga to score dominantly on heavy ground at Geelong last time out, sitting on speed and coming away as favourite to win well. Should relish the extra trip again here and will be very hard to catch once more against a few that have hit their mark. REALIKA (10) has been thereabouts in three runs back and did get home strongly off a slow speed at Sandown Lakeside last start in a small field. Look for her late. NEARCO FROD (1) ran a nice race first up off a long spell at Pakenham over this trip when getting into third. Can only come on from that and his 3yo form this time last year reads well. ADIRA RIVER (13) was a dominant maiden winner at Hamilton when last seen and can measure up while ZEYNO (12) beat Nearco Frod home last time and is in the mix again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rainsun to win.
