GOING: S

Traction Ag Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.67).  

The speedy duo Run And Tell and Take The Prize can set the pace from the outset. TAKE THE PRIZE (10) brings a string of placings and there was only a whisker in it here last time over this distance. She will push over and ride the speed and has her chance in this lineup. RUN AND TELL (3) brings strong form from Gawler across the border. He's a leader and doubt returning to a sprint will bother him. The 2kg claim is handy. SUPREME THUNDER (8) is knocking on the door and is a hope. He can settle more forward today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Take The Prize
