GOING: G

Clare Valley Toyota Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Chartin leading from Tametomo and Little Bit Yours. FIGHT FOR FREEDOM (11) is resuming at a good distance here and if the speed is on he can go well. Is a 9yo now though so hoping he's not too rusty first up. If he is then LISELLE'S LUCK (9) can sweep into the race. She is backing up and back in ground too. Could be some value. OFF THE CUFF (12) gets in well here with no weight and has been very consistent. Certainly has some luck with the barriers. CHARTIN (4) will work forward and set a nice speed. He races best doing just that. ALASKAN STORM (2) was solid before a spell then made ground at Mildura. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard way to finish the day. If Liselle's Luck gets to good odds it might be the each way play.
