GOING: H

G.D. & S.L. OSullivan Builders BM58 Handicap 1600m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 5.5m Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Vegas On Fire taking charge. FIRST CHORUS (5) is promising and she just missed here before coming back and delivering her Maiden win. Peaks now and maps for the run of the race. Steps up to the mile and she can take the next step. MOSCOW RED (6) has been saved for this and assess her chance on the nose defeat two-back at Bendigo this trip in a 64. Has a soft gate, and the 4kg claim brings her right into it. VEGAS ON FIRE (12) led and missed a nose at Cranbourne in a 64 and then got too far back last time in the country as favourite. She can race handy and is in the mix. LIKA SWIFT (1) gets in well with the 4kg claim and will be around the mark using the inside gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with First Chorus.
