GOING: S

Cleaners World Gippsland BM56 Handicap 1017m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.65)  

Expecting Simply Luscious to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. Competitive. INTRIGUING STATE (5) led and won easily first-up off a long break and has been narrowly beaten since, with the latest on the synthetic. He's been kept on the fresh side and will be hard to beat. MR TICKLES (3) is proving hard to catch but came off the synthetic and went well enough here last start without the best of luck. Has a handy 2kg claim back in grade and maps well. Suited in this and rates to go close. AFFIRMATIVE SMILE (9) led and was sharply better winning her Maiden at Bairnsdale and is sure to build on that for a leading metro stable. She can use the inside barrier and has to be considered. SIMPLY LUSCIOUS (4) resumes with a handy 3kh claim and his jumpout form suggests he will come back further improved. His narrow defeat at Mornington two back stacks right up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Intriguing State.
