GOING: S

Bendigo Magazine BM64 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Strong early tempo with Call Him Iggy pushing ahead. CALL HIM IGGY (1) is a lightly raced 4yo who resumed with a solid third at Swan Hill, sticking on nicely to be beaten 1.5 lengths. Should strip much fitter for that and from the inside draw he's going to take plenty of catching. JUSTDOIT (6) is racing in great form, winning either side of a spell before another good run last start, just finding one better at Seymour. Will be hard to hold out again. PREVAILED (7) wasn't far off a smart type in Rackemann at Ballarat last start and looks to get a soft run on speed here. Can give cheek. YONGTAI (12) should be ready to fire third up from a spell and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Call Him Iggy to win.
