GOING: S(7)

RW Advisory Group C,G&E BM64 Handicap 1200m Track: SOFT7 Rain (Max: 23) Rail: True Entire Circuit.
The speedy La Pleine Lune should find the front with Dark Journey on his heels. BLAZING HARRY (3) was first up off 16 months at Cranbourne and ran well for third, beaten 1.3 lengths over this trip. Second up in his only other campaign he ran second to the then-airborne Steparty. Drawn wide here and stays at 1200m but should be much fitter and can take this out. BUZZ CITY (8) is a consistent, lightly raced type who just found one better at Benalla fresh. He'll be fitter and has always promised to have a good level of ability. LA PLEINE LUNE (12) resumes having won on debut by 9 lengths on a very strange Warrnambool track before struggling at Scone. He's interesting. DARK JOURNEY (4) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blazing Harry to win.
