GOING: S(5)

TAC BM58 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.30)  

Good pace expected with Little Bighorn, Gala Diamond and Beaunified paving the way. SEA POEM (4) is a lightly raced mare who presents third up and ready to fire. Two runs back from a spell have been okay but she did show plenty of promise last time in and should be at peak fitness in a winnable race. LITTLE BIGHORN (2) won dominantly first up at Pakenham Synthetic, failing to repeat the dose last time albeit in a BM64 and was not disgraced. This should be more to his liking. COUNT OF TOULOUSE (1) has won his past two, digging deep to score here last time out in a similar race. Have to respect again. GALA DIAMOND (3) resumes with a consistent profile and a nice map from barrier one. Can figure. ARIA ELECTRA (12) is consistent without winning. She is back a fair way in trip which is the query but she can be staying on late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sea Poem on top.
