GOING: S

Thankyou Noel Ryan 0 - 58 Highweight Handicap 1800m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 10)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.53).  

Moderate tempo expected with Mangione likely to find the front over Burnt By Bernie and Big Darryl. SANTELMO FUEGO (1) is a border hopper who has been racing in stronger class. He wasn't far away at Murray Bridge in a 78 last time and despite top weight finds a winnable assignment. BIG DARRYL (10) hasn't won for an age but this isn't hard. Went close over 1500m on the synthetic two back and is worth considering having his first try this trip. EMERGING (7) resumes and is likely pleasing. It's an ask but he has some ability and the betting will be key. MANGIONE (5) just missed at Edenhope over 2000m and will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Santelmo Fuego.
