GOING: S(6)

W&R GREAT SUPPORTERS OF SPORT HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Coatachino, Mr Mt Walker and Annihilator to control the tempo. GOLDEN DORE (3) is knocking on the door of another victory, finishing 1.8L off the victory at Pinjarra in a CL5 as favourite. The inside draw is a big tick and he looks well placed right back in grade today. Ticks plenty of boxes and is the one to beat. MAKIN PROPHETS (9) was too good on the heavy track here last start, winning by 0.3L over the mile here most recently. He'll need some luck from out wide, but the 2kg claim comes in handy and he'll be flying home late in the race. MY BOY EDDY (7) got the job done narrowly in this grade last start 30 days ago. The pads come off which is a positive sign and he was favourite when winning last time out. Can put his best foot forward. BEAUTIFUL BAROQUE (1) hasn't been far away recently and should get her chance off the inside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Golden Dore can get the job done.
