GOING: H(8)

TAB BM65 Handicap 1300m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +12m Entire. (Pent: 6.82)  

Expecting Good Lieutenant to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. Race gets ripped apart by scratchings but that will be music to the ears of connections of LIMERO (5) who may just have found is race. Has hit the top-four at his past seven starts and always shows up on race day. Now he gets his chance to land some reward for effort. KWT up and the ratings are there. Plenty to like. FIGHTING IDOL (1) is a three-time winner around this circuit and should be hitting the line with gusto. Cannot be discounted with his latest second stacking right up against the selection. UMETINI (10) resumes off a nice trial. Stablemate of Limero and not without a shot of spoiling the day for that one. He is 2/3 first up in the past. SUGGESTED PLAY: Limero finds the right race.
