GOING: H(8)

North East Forklift Services 0-58 Handicap 1400m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43).  

Solid tempo with Frankie Two Angels leading from Surreal Winston and Garros. SURREAL WINSTON (4) needed the hit-out first up and following matched his best winning here this grade from the front. The shorter trip should serve to his advantage and he gets in well keeping the 3kg claim. Fitter again and can go on with it. PARIS SHIRAZ (9) was tracking well before the flop at Bendigo. She also comes back in trip and has been kept on the fresh side. Rates well at best. LEICA TROOPER (2) belted the Bendigo Maidens by 2L and then was just okay in a 64 at Swan Hill. He steps back to a sprint but is a hope with average luck from the wide gate. ARACHIDI (10) is capable of a much stronger showing this time and must be included as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Surreal Winston.
