GOING: G(4)

MP SECURITY RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: +0.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.58)  

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. BOYFRIEND MATERIAL (2) has to manage a wide gate but there was a lot to like about the easy Maiden win heavily bet. He is still shy of his Victorian best and the in-form Butler rides for the first time. Peaks and looks capable of taking the next step. ACEDROD (6) returned to form beaten 2L in an Open 3. He's capable of using the inside barrier and making the finish. THE HAIRDRESSER (5) has been heavily bet her last four and has been within range without winning. Needs a good ride but Stanley sticks aboard and she gets another chance. MR GREY (8) hit the line hard placing at Mackay. He's been briefly freshened and is well in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Boyfriend Material.
