GOING: F

Class 4 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 32)    

Giant M and Shadow Hunter have the early speed and take leading roles. SHADOW HUNTER (5) is coming off a determined win last start over 1400m at this track seven weeks ago. Gets some weight relief this time so he is right in contention. THE PLAYER (10) has been freshened up for this after he was strongly fancied last time but beaten 47 lengths into eighth over 1700m at this track. Can feature prominently. RAON TAP PLAY (2) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 1300m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GIANT M (9) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when half a length away in second over 1700m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can feature in the finish.
