GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Own Spring BM64 Handicap 1210m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.66).  

Strong tempo from the outset with Raetihi, Small Town Hero and Too Big leading the charge. CAESAR CIPHER (12) was a smart winner on debut at Benalla before tackling a handy BM64 at Flemington behind Swiftfalcon, who won the Dulcify impressively on Saturday at Randwick. That form should hold up very well here. KING WEST (8) is a nicely bred type who has won his past two starts at Cranbourne. Still improving and looks a live chance once more. VIENNA VIXEN (5) resumes. She's a consistent type right up to winning at this level fresh and she should be respected. EXCEL AND FLY (3) was better last time when just behind King West and has minor claims. SMALL TOWN HERO (9) can run well fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Caesar Cipher to win.
