GOING: G

Stables Plus BM70 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: TRUE 1600m - 1000m, Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.24)  

Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Arizona Activist a potential leader. TYPHOON HARMONY (2) is knocking on the door, placing in his past three. Stuck on well in the Bairnsdale Cup two back before another sound effort at Bendigo. Finds the right race now, go close. ARIZONA ACTIVIST (4) was a decisive winner at Geelong in a decent BM64 when last seen, scoring by 2.25 lengths. Maps well again and can measure up. CARNIVAL ROW (1) was too bad to be true last time at Bendigo when in the market but had been in good form prior and can bounce back. BOARDRIDER (10) was beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth when resuming last start over 1300m at Bendigo. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Typhoon Harmony to win.
