GOING: G(4)

Caspers Pies & Pastries Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit.  

Genuine pace with Hartman finding the front from his low draw. HE'LL RIP (1) comes here third up and ready to peak. Both runs back have been sound, working home well at Flemington second up over 1420m, no match for a smart winner but doing well to beat the rest. Back slightly in grade here, he should get a nice run just off the pace and be hard to hold out late. MORNINGTON PIER (7) has just found one better at both starts this time in, both in 0-64 races. This race isn't the strongest and he's still quite lightly raced so he can measure up nicely. HARTMAN (11) has been going okay without threatening but maps well here from a low draw and can figure. TOP ARCTIC (5) doesn't win out of turn but is going well enough to be a factor. DIVINE CROWN (3) resumes and has minor claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: He'll Rip to win.
