GOING: G

Oldfield Memorial Rating 0 - 52 Handicap 1396m

Track: Good   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Dancing Stream has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. Tough way to finish the card. DANCING STREAM (2) mixes her form but her best is good enough to win. She was plain last start but happy to forgive that and take her on the prior run at the track. OK draw and aided by a useful claim. EDGY ERA (5) is another who can be forgiven for a below par run last time. She won well here the start before and looks a threat if she can reproduce that sort of run. Have a feeling ALPINE JOY (4) is going better than her form reads on paper so including her in wider plays. Can say the same for HONDURAS (7) who is a winner here. They pull the blinkers off today looking to spark some form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Alpine Joy each-way to knock over a couple of the favourites.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming ran last of 11 at this track 0-54 on May 11 over 1200m, 29 len behind Dylan's Lad with 55kg at $21. Second run from a spell won by a head at this track 0-52 May 23 over 1100m defeating Lancelotto carrying 58.5kg at $41. Has a habit of winning at a big price and can run a cheeky race again.
