GOING: S(7)

THE GALLIPOLI HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.65)  

Edited By to take charge ahead of She's Unusual at a strong tempo. EDITED BY (1) out to his pet trip when going forward from the awkward draw to lead throughout over 1350m at Wyong with the 58.5kg. Fitter now and a repeat showing is expected today with Osmond's 3kg claim. ASGARDA (2) tough Wagga mare with good figures over this trip. Won well first up before struggling to cope with the Melbourne way of going when eighth over 1300m at Bendigo. Capable of turning it around quickly with Bourke's 2kg claim. Goes close. HOUSE OF CARDS (15) total forgive from the wide gate when a fading thirteenth over 1500m at Hawkesbury in easier company. Can hold a forward position from the draw and give a ton of cheek. SYDNEY BOWLER (9) underrated gelding fitter after three runs back from a long layoff. Strong through the line when fourth over 1300m at Hawkesbury in BM78 class. Capable of taking this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,2,15,9.
