GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Get On Extra Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Expecting a genuine tempo with Impending Link setting the tone from an outside draw, joined by Dragoon. FIDDLERS GREEN (11) goes on top post-scratchings. He was in the market in a much stronger race at Randwick last start, good behind an in form horse at Rosehill prior. Back in trip suits having possibly struggled to see out a strong 1600m last time and he draws for every chance to bounce back. CINEMATIC STAR (16) is coming off a smart win in similar company at Sandown Hillside last time out, afforded every chance from the inside gate there. Should take beating again. PRESSER (3) resumes off two solid jump outs having been in good form last time in. He'll get over a touch further but warrants respect, as does DRAGOON (6) who is in a similar boat with the class to figure and Damian Lane booked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fiddlers Green to win.
